Not a grill a gill mount is a custom motor mount that is used to repower I/o boats with a outboard . Thanks for the link though.

LOL ....I have never heard of that.
I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer sometimes.
Looking at some on D&D marine, interesting but pricey.
Could you fill the transom and use a jackplate?

I wish it was that easy but I'm going out 30" setting motor out in the clean water.

So lets see some pictures of this new boat.

I am going to be converting the Jet Boat to an outboard and plan on just using a jackplate somewhere in the 8-10" I think. Not really sure yet. But then again this is only an 18ish foot boat. Now that I think about it, I have no idea how long it is. Never measured it before but I know its not bigger then an 18 footer. lol

I understand that Gill is no longer in business. Armstrong http://www.marineparts.com/Armstrong/arm1.htm, makes top quality, top $ brackets but not tubular.

Have you searched for used, or maybe it could be a project for you and your welder.

Well found one in Fl and it just so happens that my buddie was on Vaction there so he Picked it up for me . Supposedly cost was 2200$ got it for 350$ nice stainless one . Well have to make a couple Cause I got a tunnel boat that needs daul 150s or 200s on it . The amstrong ones look nice but not quite as racey looking as the gill units.

I know where there's 2, but they're attached to a 26 foot Baja and holding up a pair of Johnson GT 200's. It's the boat I was going to buy before I decided on my 'stream. The boat's rotten, owner was asking way too much for it. I can put you in contact with him to see if he wants to part it out though. It's in Bracebridge, Ontario Canada.
