Bly I agree with what you said about measuring for submerged volume, you have to sink them deep in the water especially when they have a hard angle up to the motor mounting pad. The only advantage I still see with aluminum brackets is the weight, but its gotten much closer with new materials. I want to say a single chamber 30" Armstrong weighs 45lbs. I want to say a double weighs 65. I could be way off but it rings a bell, I know mine is like a feather so I believe 45lbs.
