Outboard engine brackets?
What is the general consensus on outboard brackets? And what is the general thought on the smallest boat a bracket can be used on...21', 20' 19', 18'...???
This is just a random question...just something I was thinking about...and there seems to be quite a bit of knowledge and experience with brackets around here... Thanks in advance!

Re: Outboard engine brackets?
I don’t know it there is a general thought on this subject just a bunch of individual thoughts. So for me, if you want a bigger boat since you don’t own one yet just buy the next size bigger so you don’t have to bracket. For me, I think that the 23’ is the starting point on do I want to bracket or not and again for me, that’s only if I wanted to put 2 motors on the back for safe longer ranges trips. I really start thinking about brackets and or euro bracketed boats at 27-31 foot in boats that size you don’t have to be as concerned with the weight of motors 30 something inches off the back of your boat.

Re: Outboard engine brackets?
It seems that most of the folks on this site like a bracket on the bigger boats. I looked at putting one on my 20, and decided to stay with the traditional notched transom. I have had boats with twins and a bracket and love the clean look of the cockpit and the room (my Jupiter has an integrated bracket). I think it is really personal preference.
