Default Re: To bracket or not to bracket?
I have a 23'CC with a bracket and twin150 hp mercs. I also run another 23 that has a transom mounted engine with the huge splashwell. There is no comparison to the way the boats fish. The bracket boat has the same amount of room as a 25' with an enclosed transom. I fish offshore and live bait for King Mackeral and have never lost a fish to the engines. FYI- the bracket boat w/ twin 150's can cruise at 35 knots which is higher than the top end for the single engine, and the fuel usage is the same. Go for the bracket.
