Mine is right on the edge and no problem landing fish. Got to be real careful docking on the starboard side. If you have the space to mount it where you say you will be golden. I think yours will be mounted higher from the water than mine.

ilucas,
I would have to second getting the one that drops down 15 inchs.On my other boat I mounted my bracket a little to high.When I was in rough water and the motor was all the way down on the bracket the motor would come out of the water.but in clam waters it ran great I also used an easy steer that works great.It looks like you have a heavy of enough boat so you should have no problem but It's just a thought.Good luck.

salty,
no problem w/ the downriggers?
ilucas

No problem. I have 2 0n that side. I run one at 90 degrees and the one behind the kicker at 45.
