I am putting an Armstrong alluminum single bracket. It is the full size one that runs the whole width. Being a Sceptre, having the "big top", and having a single 472 pound motor, I wasn't looking for alot of floatation back there. The boat was already a tad nose heavy. Also, I found the bracket for 500 bucks, which is about 2200 less than a new one, and all it needed was fresh paint. I have probably removed at least 400 pounds of "dead" weight from the boat (wet transom, wet fuel tank platform, etc). Using composits, I hope the net to be 250 pounds lighter, unfortunatly, most of the weight loss is in the stern.
