Some of the first armstrong brackets had no floatation but the one I have has a lot. Also my hull has had the floor scuppers eliminated and replaced with scuppers at floor level coming out of the transom. The 80 gallon tank has been moved as far forward as the hull will allow and the console is moved up. All this should give me a lot more balance than I had with the Master Angler. Thanks so much for the info. I will keep you posted and try to get some smaller files to post pics. david
