The only advantage I see with the mini brackets is that they displace some water below planing speeds - maybe 1 cubic foot??? That would be about 64 lbs of seawater. Not sure how the weight stacks up against the jackplate but I'm guessing it is pretty similar. Either way it keeps the motor closer to the transom which is good for a 20. Jackplate has more flexibility for adjustment though.
