Great post. This site helped me with my decision to add a bracket to my 20. Thanks for everyones help. I'm having the little boat redone by a professional down in Stuart. We decided to enclose the transom and add an Armstrong flotation bracket. I chose an Opti 175 Pro XS for power due to its strong power/weight. Should be a quick, efficient little set-up.

Enclosing the transom allowed me to add a livewell and more storage. We have two hatches, one to port and one to starbord, and an approximately 17 gallon livewell in the center. Here are a couple pics:
