Need Motor Bracket Advice...

Report: outside forum guidelines

I sold my old 2 stroke and bought a new 4 stroke Suzuki 2.5. The motor looks great and it weighs less than 30 pounds, BUT! The very strange tilting mechanism only allows the motor to be tilted while pointed straight forward. This makes it impossible to fully raise the motor on the factory fiberglass bracket (circa 1978).
Any recommendations for a new bracket would be appreciated.
