I installed a Porta Bracket on my 18' Archercraft skiff and loved it, the package never gave me a moment of trouble and the boat could literally go anywhere as long as there was water to be picked up. The bracket is the equivalent of installing a blower on your street car and going to Arby's on Friday night, it will turn heads. It IS expensive and unless you have a legitimate need (I did, avg. water depth 3" to 3' around me), I would look at a Bob's Machine Shop unit....good stuff and much cheaper.
Good Luck
