Re: Bracket vs hull extension vs stretch????
 

Todd - guess what I was trying to imply in my previous post is that you can achieve what you want (good ride and low planning speed) by just installing a Hermco Bracket; if you don't use boat for diving or run with real heavy loads, maybe with a shorter one with a 115 V-4. That's got to be a whole lot less work and $ than lengthening the boat! Denny

Denny,

I understood. Over the past year I've paid special attention to your comments regarding the bracket, especially since your have a Seafari with new power.

If the boat only needed new power, a bracket woudl make sense to me, but I'm starting from zero. This is on purpose, I like projects, I have the time and resources to get this boat back into shape exactly the way I want with all the doo-dads and additions I want and none I don't.

I'll have lots more questions, especially Seafari specific questions, so bear with me.

I would think a bracket, preferably a twin bracket would more than serve your purpose. Personally the commitment of time and money to lengthen a hull against adding an adequate bracket doesn't make sense. But that's just me.
