    Not a factory item have to be custom made, did you try the guys on ScreamNFly? Call Monty racing and see if Gordon knows of anyone that makes them.

    I have ran solids in my motors before. Unless you are building a high performance engine/racing/ect....they are useless and aggravating in a normal bassboat IMHO. You can feel every vibration, shake, rattle, ect from your motor. Just curious why you want them?

    My boat is running at an angle. Somebody told me that it was possibly the motor mounts. At the same person told me to get solid ones. I’m not so sure that it is the motor mounts. Still investigating

    You mean the boat is leaning over or listing at cruise / high speed? Please offer more detail on this condition.

    Doubtful for the motor mounts. Original mounts will be adequate.
    Next question then. What has been done to check for anomalies in the hull?
    Can we assume this is a new situation and that the boat has not exhibited this condition in the past?
    A hook in the hull or other deformity will cause the condition is more likely to be a culprit.
    What about a depth transducer?

    Maybe the famous Stratos lean?
    Does it just lean to one side at lower to medium speeds?

    Motor mounts will not cause this list / lean as described. There is a weight balance issue or other hull problems.
