It's been raining here like a two c**ted cow pissing on a flat rock for about ten months now, I'm lucky to get in the stuff I've done so far.

Got that bracket installed yet slacker? [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

Finster, I would like to know what you think of the construction, fit and finish of your new Hermco bracket? I am thinking of filling in my transom solid, and adding a twin engine bracket but only using a single O/B to gain the added flotation on my 78 Sceptre. If possible, your not that far from me, Would you mine if I were to stop by and check it out sometime?

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

I have been trying to find someone that has put a hermco bracket on a 23 sceptre with a 225/250 outboard to ride and see how it works. Pictures would also be nice for ideas in finishing out the transom closing. From everything I have seen and heard, it is a great bracket, but the devil is in the details of rigging and setting it up right for the application.

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

I have to say the quality of the bracket is very nice. I think I made the right decission buying it.
Although I am way behind in my project, I have no dought it will preform as expected when I finally get it finished.

Yo D.H. where's my commision [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Seamark bracket? one lucky dude [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

I thought I had put the comission inside the bracket but someone must have drunk it.I am doing a conversion on a 25 Mako from a single transom mounted 225 Honda 4 stroke to a bracket with twin 225 Honda 4 strokes right now. The combined weight of the motors is 1200 lbs. So I will know the beginning of next week when I sea trial what the Seamark bracket is "made of".

Yeh yeh yeh, who drank it?

How's your project coming? Your dad get it reconfigured yet? [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

Haven't even processed the before pics.I have been trying to get some of this annoying work that pays the bills done.In the next two weeks I will get caught up and begin the fun work of deconstruction! I love that part.

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

Hermco,
When you get that thing done, if you have it in the shop for a week or so seatrialing, post up and let me know. I might take a drive down there to look at it. I don't think I have seen a bracket with 2 of those big pigs hung off from it. I would be real curious to see how that sits in the water at rest. I am in a love/hate relationship with the idea doing something similar on my boat, but I am afraid of screwing up something that is pretty decent to begin with.

D.H., remember old fiberglass itches like hell, and the most important, the beer to work load equation. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

Just splashed the Mako with the twin Honda 4 strokes.Those motors are awesome!The owner wouldn't let me open it up (break in) and he just wanted to be on his way.He is going across to the Bahamas on Thurs so I didn't get to run it as much as I would have liked.It was rough so I could not gauge how the waterline had changed from before but it looked about the same as when it had a single transom mounted motor.When he gets back next week I am going to get some at rest in the water pics to post to my website.The customer was stoked and I am very pleased with the outcome.Hey Finster you have to drink the hard stuff when attacking old fiberglass!Beer just does not cut it.I break out the sawsall and a bottle of vodka and get down to business.

No doubt the best quote on Classic SeaCraft to this date

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

Yeah ... that is CLASSIC.

Personally, i prefer to step up to the chainsaw and a bottle of OUZO!

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

Damn! Looking forward to seeing twin Pigs on a Seamark [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

Hey HERMCO!
Does the twin engine bracket hold a single ok?

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

To do a single motor on a twin bracket you have to use a 30" shaft length motor. The brackets are set up to work with 25" shaft motors.I know of a 23' over on the west coast that has a twin bracket with a single 250 that worked fine.

D.H.-When is Sea Otter going to get back on the board?

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

Potter will be here tomorrow and I will ask him.

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

Hermco,
I am interested in contracting someone to put a bracket on my seacraft, putting in an insulated fish box, and a folding seat in my transom. I have some pretty solid ideas of what I want done. If you would be interested, shoot me an e:mail with your phone number.

JEEEEZ,,,,, I SWEAR I'LL NEVER SAY CHAINSAW AGAIN. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] LT DAN

Re: Seamark Bracket
 

How'bout a chainsaw and bottle of Jack? [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] That'd make for some creative work! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Finster

What's happening with your boat and the Potter Bracket installation? I'll be going the same route in a few weeks and was looking for some feedback [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I took a ride on generaider's 23' with the bracket this week. What an awesome ride [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
