Default sprintcat setup question

I recently purchased a 36" sprintcat that I want to use with my existing ops 60 inboard.. I am going to have to fab some motor mounts, and was wondering if i should make them with rubber shockmounts, or just make them solid aluminum? thanks in advance

I would most definitely use rubber with the mount.

Taz,

is that a new Hull?
where did you buy it?

can you see an Aeromarine sticker with a number glassed inside the hull?

Reason for asking is I believe all SprintCats have ply stringers glass in the hull.
