I agree the look of an outboard on a bracket is sexy but from an engineering standpoint I think hanging the engine on the transom is a better solution as Denny has been educating us (or in general on the effect of moving the cg toward the transom). I don't recall who posted it but one of our more knowledgeable and connected brothers shared a quote from one of the SeaCraft Oracles regarding brackets (I forget if it was Mr Potter or Mr Moesly). It went something like "if you want more room, buy a bigger boat". That definitely speaks to the original design intent. I had my Seafari on Lake Erie last year and it ready did great in the short chop. I think your conditions on NH inland lakes will be very similar.

No problem. It's a little sloppy up here this week but generally a mild winter by Buffalo standards.

I agree. These are not beamy boats. With 4 gent's on board the splashwell tub and 25" transom really keeps the feet dry.
