Default Re: 20' SeaCraft - better w/ or w/o a bracket ???

bushwacker,
Thanks for the reply. I think the boat manufactures figured this out when they started putting brackets on new boats, and adjusted the center of balance forward. I think they move the gas tank forward, and I also noticed the the consoles are starting to move forward too. I do think the Sceptre/Safaries fair better from this modification than the CC's from a balance perspective. I can't wait to splash mine and see what the differences are. I left my gas tank in the same place, I was already bow heavy with the top on my boat. It also had 2 "pig iron" balast weights in the back that I removed. I think they wieghed about twice what the bracket does, so it should be neutral.
