Hi Bobby and welcome

You really need to go back on previous threads, there is a handful of them that are well versed that I'm sure will answer all your questions without rehashing them [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Pay attention to Capt C with his "I've got a little problem"

As far as the bracket deal, I'm going to install a bracket on my 23' because the transom is 25 years old and is needing replacement. As long as I'm going thru the expense, I might as well increase my interior space, get rid of the half-ass floor bait well, make the boat more safe and inherit a 6' dive platform.

Remember that the new 25' SeaCraft is just a 23' with the integrated bracket. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

BTW There are several boats for sale right here by other CSC members that you can contact by going back through the "Wanted / For Sale" threads.

Good Luck with your endeavors and enjoy the reading!
