I’ve had a bracketed 23SF and I currently have a transom mounted 23 Sceptre. I definitely enjoyed the speed and safety of the closed transom with the bracketed boat. Two observations:
1. Being caught offshore in a tight 3 ft gulfstream chop with the transom mounted sceptre, I was able to keep the bow up at planning speed which was only 12-13 MPH. That low speed made the ride easy even though the sea was picking up.
2. Also, a year ago when we crossed over the Bahamas, I spent close to three hours driving with Don V (transom mounted 23SF) and Briguy (Bracketed 23SF). The running attitudes were noticeably different.
