20' SeaCraft - better w/ or w/o a bracket ???

[TUGBOAT]

This was a BIG decision on restoring my 20'MA / 25" / merc.150. I researched most all w/ brackets & looked asked everybody(Mostly ol' Timers-Before SeaCrafts were cooool). from Lower Miami to 'bout Marathon_Mid Keys.Bunch of em' ,Saw maybe 2- 20's.I wanted a 20' not a made 23-You will not get that ride with a 20' But then I can go where they can't & Vice-Versa. The verdict was No Bracket. Too much weight hang'n that far back & didn't want a "SinkCraft". 23's Without a doubt. There are a few with them now.They seem to like em.
