One more thing. I dont have a closed in stern & bracket but the new four stroke 465lbs. or somthin close and the above deck 30 gal livewell full in the stern is 2 much weight.Since i have no tabs I have to trim engine up and down to keep from loaping and in the ocean this still sometimes isn't enough.Also you might want to raise your decks a little.My 20 with the big engine and the well full will self bail if i'm not in the boat.That to me is not that big a deal as I mostly live bait cobias and trout flounder and other inshore stuff so i just plug the drains.But in the ocean I would want to be able to keep them unpluged if there was any kind of sea.I admit that i plug my scuppers and go in the ocean all day but its nice to be able to get water out quickley and I dont like pulling plugs every time I jump the boat on a plane.
