No consenus on the 20's -
That is a question a number of us who have 20's have batted around, and there is no clear answer. We've seen a few 20's done with brackets on this page, but don't have the benefit of before / after direct observations from the owners.
What year 20 do you have, and what is the stock transom height, 20 or 25 inch ?
In those other discussions, we surfaced that there appear to be three variations of motor well cut-out width, and some folks have a little concern over water entry thru the splashwell - is that your concern as well, or are you strictly looking at the possibility of performance improvement with the bracket? If you have a wider transom cutout, and redo the transom, you will have the opportunity to reduce the opening size. Also, there are several redo's of 20's, trayders and riffraffs, that did some custom work to the transom interior, improving the rear end design from a point of view of taking water over the stern.
I think if you do decide to go with a bracket, you will want to re-inforce the transom when you do the rebuild, add a couple of knees.
Lot's of choices, no clear answers.
but best wishes - and take pictures !!!
