Bracket shape

[wattaway2]

Had an interesting conversation withe a buddy that just redid a 21 Mako about flat bottom vs V bottom brackets. My 23 has a flat bottom Stainless marine bracket and his is a custom V bracket. He noted that he gets a lot of water spray off his bracket where as my flat bottom has none any one else notice Any peculiarities in the two designs? Wonder if the flat bottom allows the motor to be raised higher vs the V type would have to recheck but I think I’m about 5 3/4” up from the keel.
