You might want to talk to Don in ft Pierce at hermco. If I remeber correctly he was planning on putting a 200 on a bracket with his 20.

I am not sure of the buoyancy of the single for the 20, but I would think it be in the neighborhood of 350lbs +- at the water line, at a guess. At that the weight of a 200 would be fine.
I understand well what Dunk is saying, it's like haveing a 3.4 liter merc, weighing 575lbs sitting on a Gill bracket with no floatation....Not recommended! Though the boat didn't sit as low in the stern as thought.
I know the Don's brackets have 800lbs of buoyancy for a twin, 500 for a single for the 23's and as I said I am just guessing at the 20. But even if it was 250lbs buoyancy it would still work fine.
How's that for a fine Finster editorial!

In the HermCo's literature for the Seamark (Potter bracket)
the Single version is listed as 6' wide (25" shaft) and has a buoyancy of 420 lbs
the Twin version as 7'2" wide with a buoyancy of 890 lbs

These are the only two models listed in the copy I have.
Isn't the Single version the model that has been used on the restores of the 20's on HermCo's site?? I didn’t realize there was one manufactured specifically for the 20.

Hermco did this renovation and installed these brackets on Bill Potter's personal boat, a 20' Seafari.

I had to stop clicking on Hermco site about a year ago, my keyboard was filling up with drool over that blue Seafari!!

That's one sweet Seafari!! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
