Joy of deepest joys, our motors are back where they truly belong, in alignment with the booms.
And there's more, invert the boat and even the props clear the floor and can be left in place whilst the skis are attended to. If at this stage you're not feeling warm inside, then see a general practitioner at your soonest convenience. You need feel no shame in doing so; I took my own son as a very small child to be looked at when he wasn't responding to normal stimuli like triple-expansion steam-engines in ways that I would expect.
The only lining that's not silver in all this is that the booms had to be foreshortened further, which hurt more than losing part of my penis.
IKEA would also fit a dowel between boom and power-bar, but as I'm not IKEA we won't be doing so any time soon.
