I too agree..HermCo all the way..the guy who bought my boat was amazed at the ride especially with the bracket, as well as the bracket construction!! He also liked how the boat had all that extra flotation in the ass end especially for a repower down the road if needed...quite a selling point...also something you might want to consider if you ever decide or need to sell(like in my case)!!!......dont skimp...only will cause problems down the road...do it right the first time!!! Also my opinion and not meant to offend either!
