I ain't doing the math, but I once used a teeter-totter at a Holiday Inn...
Might check with Blue Heron on his napkin bracket calculations. My guess is that he was including a flotation bracket in his calculation rather than a Porta-bracket.
I think Porta-brackets are fine for skinny water and shallow-draft, flat-bottom boats but me thinks this is a bad plan for a 25 deg dead-rise hull that wants is ass end out of the water in the big pool.
I'd talk to Don Herman at Hermco before spending a wad on Scott's product and ruining a perfectly good boat because a rogue wave caught your arse crossing the bar. Just a thought
