You really need to think through how you're going to re-enforce the contact points - hitting a 3ft wave with 4 people hanging on to the the tower can rip the whole thing out of the deck.

Starting with the motor and mounting: Is 115hp sufficient? How much set-back do I need with the closed transom, and what is the best mounting height with a 20" vs 25" shaft? Jack-plate vs. porta bracket? (I don't want a full bracket).

Livewell/Leaning-post and console: I like the Hammerhead style livewell/leaning-post, but is this too much weight for this hull? What is the best size console and do you like the idea of console bench seat or cooler seat?

Tower or no tower...This is a big debate I keep having with myself. I have a nice 1/2 tower, but I don't want to overload the boat (the deck was not raised). I've had mixed opinions and I'm needing more input please.

This thread will remain active as rigging progresses and I'm very grateful for all your advice and suggestions.

Minimum 150hp....especially since you’re talking about a livewell and tower
Porta bracket affords both setback and jack plate functions
Leaning post livewell is no biggie....50G
1/2 or full tower no biggie...with the engine setback you’ll want to compensate for the COG moving aft by moving console forward.
