I'll attach a couple pics of the transom of my Prowler, but I'd set up your mono the same. The stinger is from Zippkits. The rudder is an Aeromarine with a homemade standoff. The trim tabs and turnfin are also homemade. Zippkits sells stingers, rudders, trim tabs, and turnfins that are good quality and the price is very reasonable. I would mount your motor as far forward as you can get it, just about right up against the bulkhead at the front of the engine compartment. What engine were you planning to use? Doug
