I had an Armstrong on my old 23SF. That bracket was tapered and gave no additional flotation. Don’s bracket would have been better. Briguy has had to recoat his aluminum bracket with Linex.

I have a twin Whaler Drive bracket off a 25 outrage that I think could be retrofitted to a 23 seacraft, but it needs a serious tune up. If you can get a hermco . . . DO IT!!

I have a twin floatation bracket.
Armstrong and too wide for the race boat.

Have to section 4 1/2 inches per side and all that entails.
I did buy it right.

Perfect for a 23.

These are proven and are worth a look.

I spoke to Don (hermco) today and he is finally done..... So sad. Of course when I'm ready to pay him to make me a bracket he's done. I guess I will start searching

Give Josh Stoner a call from Stoner Boatworks. Check out his Instagram feed, it's a very nice looking fiberglass bracket he makes for his boat and it's around the price of the Hermco. I talked to him Wednesday, after meeting him in person Saturday in Miami and told him he might have an opportunity to market his bracket and provide an option over aluminum. It's a bracket made with Coosa Bluewater 26 which looks very, very well made. Let him know it's the goofy SeaCraft guy sending you his way!!! Good luck.

Im having Josh Stoner make my bracket

Good for you, he's about 150 miles up the road from your place in KW. I should have also included his web site. http://www.stonerboatworks.com

What’s the status of his molds?

Thanks Don. Appreciate it. I will post all the pics of the conversion
