23 CC and Sceptre performance w and w/o brackets
 

I've been researching the threads here and it looks like it would be useful to compile some stats....wish I'd be happy to do for selfish reasons (I'll be repowering a 23 Sceptre by this time next year). The one I've bought looks like it has a Gil bracket on it (29 inch setback). If everyone would PM me with their boat, bracket type or no bracket, outboard types, performance and effect on boat's attitude and self bailing characteristics....I will compile them and maybe we could post them permanently on the site someplace.

I would be very interested as well. Im enclosing my transon to install a bracket.

Once I pick up my boat I'm going to splash it and do a little testing by adding weight (sand bags on top of the
engines) and measuring the effect on the boat's attitude.

Here's my two cents worth on my results.
