Ryan is right, and I closed my post with that same thought, sea trial and see what you think. There was quite a discussion over on classicmako.com about brackets on boats less than 23', the pros and cons. The general thought, at least on planet mako over there was that the brackets didn't work well on boats 21' and under. I know the mako and seacraft are different, but the issues of balance/etc would be the same on most boats in that size range. I don't know what the production numbers were, but I think there were a lot more makos, than seacrafts. There were more that had brackets put on them too.
