Re: To bracket or not to bracket?
I closed the transom on my 23cc, and I love it.It gets up on a plane quicker .I can back down now without water rushing over and inside the boat. I was concerned about backing down ,I had heard that this was a problem. The truth is I cant notice any difference backing up.The stern came up 1 1/2 inches with the bracket,it doesnt squat down like before. If you go with a bracket make sure its one with a chamber,I used the wide body from Armstrong. Overall it gave me more room, better ride and got to get rid of the original well I hated that design.Yes, I agree the ONLY draw back is that you might lose a fish or 2.
(I've been out at least 40 timest since I mounted the bracket and I've lost 1 fish, and that was because the the angler wasn't paying attention, and had to many Budweisers)but Ill give up the fish for the positives I gained.Like Scott says character, and in my opinion its a different animal.RS
