Speaking of flats boats, I've got a photo here of a Parker bay boat
(not a deep vee) whose owner installed an after-market bracket so he
could raise and lower the engine lower unit for shallow water fishing.
It seems to me it would have been easier to go with a jacks plate, but

Hope that bracket is really well built, it has got to have a heck of a

Indeed. The "standard" Parker bracket is transom wide and is held on
with about 40 one inch stainless steel bolts. I couldn't believe how
many bolts there were on the bracket on my old Parker.
