Since we are talking theory? If the second strake is so very near the surface
is there much floatation Volume compared to the extra weight of the wider bracket? Or are we going to extend the bracket to the full width of the transom and have a lengthened stepped boat hull instead. We could also bolt a piece of styrofoam onto the top of the trim tabs and maybe add a little floatation to the heavy stainless trim tabs. What about the loss of floatation because some brackets are pitching up away from the plane of the bottom too much?
