    A plastic material.

                If it were me... I'd modify that K&B to allow you to lower the motor directly down onto the mounting plate. If you seach back through my old thread (WoodStuff 28, or maybe seach on Lawless), you'll see where I did a mod recommended by Kris Flynn that machined out clearance for the coupler, and was able to drop the motor directly down on the plate. Looks like you could do that same on that K&B.

                The Stiletto motor cover is JUST tall enough to clear a standard motor and wires. I think you could make it work, however!

                Can't wait to see the results!!

                  Guys

                  Thanks a lot for your help. You've been of great help.

                  Darin thanks a lot for the suggestion.

                  The proboat OB ticks all the right boxes for quality, looks and performance. Now I'm seriously thinking of sticking 2 of them on a mono

                  Cheers
