Bracket question for a 20SF

[BA17]

I will let ya'll know one day (if it ever gets finished). I am having the transom enclosed and a bracket put on a 20. I have followed discussions on this board and the link posted from the Mako site. It seems to me that the trouble is coming from boats that are being overloaded. Most posts are talking about a large (200Hp)four stroke or twin four strokes being mounted on the back. I have a 140 hp four stroke that will be installed, granted it will not be a rocket ship, but I think the bracket will help. The 140 will work mounted on the transom, the flotation bracket should only work to offset the cantilever effect. If an engine or engines are too heavy on the transom then I would agree that putting them on a bracket will not help.

Hopefully, I will be able to provide some useful info on this set up in the near future.
