other than the motor, how muck do you have in the parts? have you had any mechine work done yet, if so how many $'s ?

bog hog and beavertail and maybe mud buddy also strong built offer frame kits. they may be more cost effictive than a home built.

i never used a swivek bracket, i used pipe to make the trim and two steel plates to steer. ill post pics in a bit. its kinda the same way godevil does it.

if the swivl bracket your talkin bout is like just a pin, then that probably wouldnt be strong enough for a 23 hp motor, either.

Like i said, the two plates pivot, well the bottom stays still and the top plate pivots, to steer. The pipes control the trim.
