Don - thanks for expanding on this kind-of-complicated issue. I agree with your comments.

The bracket thing is interesting. I think the bunks would be the same (supporting the transom), but it seems that with all that weight out there, additional support would be appropriate. I like to use a "transom saver", but with a bracket, you can't get an angle back to the trailer. I could see a case for a custom bunk trailer with extentions for the bracket. I wonder if Capt. Chuck has any thoughts on this now that he'll be trailering with a bracket.
