Default Bracket science....long with a lot of photos

Since I'm spending so much time looking at bracket designs I though I'd post some photos I took at the local boat show this past weekend. I though it would be worthwhile to get shots of brackets and transom extensions on as many boats as I could. It's interesting that so many have transom extensions that are basically like glassed on brackets. I mainly wanted to get the relationship between the bracket or extension and the hull bottom the anti-ventilation plate.

First up are the Scout Abacos. They have a central transom extension with bolt on "wings" on either side. Short set back on these...



a 28 foot Abaco





And then there's the Donzi....



And the Fountain....that's some piece of plate the engines are mounted on....



The lip on the back of the Fountain extension is interesting...







And then there's the Regulator with an Armstrong Bracket....





And then there's the Contender's.......
