Don,
I was surfing your website a couple weeks ago and meant to ask you about this one. How does it perform compared to a conventional bracket?

I also noticed you did a full hull extension on an Ocean Master. How does the performance of the longer hull compare to a bracketed version?

I'm still doing some research to figure out which way I want to go with my Potter 20, but the technical info Bushwacker alluded to in his post above is making me think a full width extension will provide more dynamic lift at lower speeds. Of course, at that point it's not really a bracket anymore unless you build it to bolt on.
