I agree..seeing lots of squatting seacrafts out there. It has to be done just right.... redistribution of weight in the boat, full flotation bracket with minimum set back, and as light an engine as you can get...and the boat will set right but will not be as nimble as it was without the bracket. The bigger seacrafts tolerate brackets much better then the smaller ones. I have a bracket on my little 20 scepter and that boat tolerates it well because it has much more weight forward than the center consuls do. And I built a full flotation bracket with a little Suzuki 140... these days I often wonder how it would ride without the bracket.
