Default Re: D&D Bracket

You don't say which hull you have, but if it's a 20, I'd go with the most flotation you can find (ie., a Hermco), if you want it to be self bailing! The 23's are a little less critical because their decks/scuppers are higher. Don said he can make a bracket with various setbacks (30", 24", 18"). If you're not a diver, you might want to consider less setback, as that will help the self bailing issue.

Also agree that Don's method of rigging down into the bracket and then thru the transom is much cleaner than just running everything across the swim platform into transom. If you want to use it for diving or even fishing, it's nice to be able to walk across the swim platform w/o having to step over all that rigging.
