Its got a slight curve to the bottom. I would have to say no to the delta pad but unsure. Is it still considered a delta pad if it slightly rounded?

Did you move the motor back with the pump?

Dunno if this pic will help Omar, but it's about an inch or so in from yours

Ya, with the pump moved back and a jet-a-way I ended up moving the motor back 2 1/2" for stock specs. I also had the back of the crank milled flush with the flex plate so I wouldn't have the thickness of a PTO.

I moved the pump and into back to nearly the same location as what your pic shows, so i didnt have to cut the transom - and not really knowing the benefits of going back any farther. Anyways, I got lucky and it turned out to be the sweet spot. See "Basketcase..." on the projects page.

I have my clean out all the way out of the boat and it is still very stable. running low 90s in a tx-19. It saved me last night also because over the holiday weekend i sucked up two rocks at he boat ramp when I was leaving. I wen't out last night and it vibrated really bad removed the clean out with boat still in the water and removed rocks. problem fixed in 5 min. don't get rid of the clean out. just my 2 cents

Omar as long as its not a delta , set it back, breach the hull at the back its plenty strong and get the cleanout so a 1/4 inch plate will clear between the cleanout boss on the intake and the back of the transom IF the inner transom design permits start with a standard length 1310 DL and go drive it, make motor movements , wedges, droops etc etc from there , as I remember the "dead back of the transom to the front of the intake cut out will be 19.5 Just my 02 Tom

Tom, it is a delta.

Thanks for the heads up Jeff , Then leave it and "relive" and reinforce the back of the hull , machine the intake for a ride plate and shoe The Delta changes everything , just did one of those a while back too

I've come to the conclusion that the intake is going back in where it was originally.
As soon as I get over this nasty flu

I might be able to get back to work on it.

If you were to perform a setback on a delta what would be the best way to correct the bottom?

I was considering a setback on the Hondo, am I
