Pretty cool thread. I can't speak for Strick, but I have an all aluminum bracket I was considering mounting. It appears to be 130 lb for 30" setback. Maybe 110 lb for a 24" setback if/when I cut it down. It does lack a center stringer which I would need to add. I seem to recall reported similar fiberglass bracket weights of 120-160lb.
I opted not to use the 30" bracket yet- it needs a brace/stringer, and I only need 23" of setback, so I didn't want to move the weight that far aft as I was worried about handling. But a 24" bracket is a little tight. I might use that aluminum bracket as a plug for a 24" bracket mold.
I
really like the idea of a vacuum bagged bracket. I am wrestling with how to do that and don't have a firm plan yet, shy of a collapsible inner plug- which seems really ambitious.
I don't want to hijack your construction thread, but if you are interested a design/theory thread for brackets is here:
