Anyone have a photo of what the mount looks like from the stringer to the bell housing on a velvet drive set up?

curious about what this nets as well, I can prob dig up some photos of mine.

My setup uses an old school Glenwood bellhousing mount that has the lower ears machined off, and then that mounts to machined alum blocks UNDER the rail. I have never seen another boat rigged this way, and its not the most pretty thing i've seen.

I just checked my phone, I dont have any great pics that show the mounting. Everything is pretty obstructed in the shots.

i think they did it that way to try to get the engine / trans lower in the hull. It certainly feels like its low in comparison to some i've seen.
