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

Zach,

I have a B-Bracket, and I do not consider it a floatation bracket. There is a small enclosed chamber, but there is so little of it in the water that it doesn't add much positive bouyancy. Perhaps there is another solution besides adding ballast to the porpoising issue I had (stern lifting prop, motor hieght/trim). But for the room I gained, seaworthiness, and the advantages of the large swim platform, I still like the bracket. Unfortunately, I chose the wrong bracket, but have an idea how to better my situation (I'll start a thread on the repair forum as I get close to diving into that project).

I hope this info helps.

Lloyd
