Hey guys,
My understanding was also that the Aeromarine Mounts are pre-drilled and tapped to fit those engines. That's why I was asking if the TT engine would match any of those--ie, match the pre-made holes on any of those mounts. Unfortunately, I do not have the tools to properly drill and tap my own mount, which is why I'm looking for one pre-tapped. I bought a completely blank mount before, and drove 30 minutes to a hobby shop to have them drill and tap it for my engine, only to have them do it all crooked, essentially ruining the mount, unless I wanted to tear the rails of my boat and mount them at the matching crooked-ness. I didn't. I had considered trying to do something with the speedmaster mounts myself, but your responses have not encouraged me in that regard!
Try calling either Speedmaster
http://www.rossisales.com or G&M models
(630) 279-2451 to see if they can drill & tap a set of mounts for you.
