Default Re: Bracket design question

If you carry the line of the bottom of the hull back, your really defeating some of the advantages. You have more surface area/drag where it contacts the water on plane, and your just creating disturbed water off the back by the motor, defeating that benefit too. If your going to add 30 inchs, you might as well get a 23' hull. The only advantage you will gain is closing in an open transom.
That's just my opinion.
