As much as everyone says that a 25" transom is better, I have never had an issue with the 20". I am a bit careful backing down on fish. I might be a bit more cavalier with a 25" transom, but I haven't had a problem yet.
With respect to a bracket: not only is handling adversely affected with respect to planing speed, now the boat is very close, if not in excess of a 3:1 length to width ratio, which makes it a little more likely to capsize.

Thanks for replying! Saltwater showers are just part of the game hopefully the fishin is so good you don't think about it
How'd you do the foam under the cap? Sealed or no? Master Angler with light motor definitely seems to be the hull to go with if one can't swing a 23'! Nice to hear the 20" can be compensated for, and is not the end of the world. I'd probably end up raising it though just because I can't leave anything alone
Interesting to me the perspectives on the brackets seem to leave no middle ground (read the sticky and various other posts). Issues where there is a lot of experienced respected people on both sides are always tough
