Also I have a completely redone center consul I will be selling I'm opting to go with a smaller cc

JohnC and Fatfish-
The deck on my 76 20 foot Seafari is higher than Bushwhackers 73 Seafari. I think it is still self draining at rest after switching from a 375lb Merc to a 418lb ETEC. Since then only done day trips. So only pull plugs when underway. But with the cuddy my cg is further fwd than a cc. As for brackets the floatation only assists at rest. The cg is affected at rest or underway. You might search for a post I did on estimating cg shift with heavy engines and brackets.
