18' Potter Hull's

[Snookerd]

downeast-I have a 1989 18'non-Potter and another family member has a 1987 18'SF. The comments I have heard regarding a bracket on the 18'SFis the center of balance being greatly altered to the stern for handling. And, of the few 18 owners, none have gone to a bracket. I have read that bracketing any boat below 20ft is not recommended for the weight distribution reason. Most members say just to get a bigger boat (20SF) if they want more space. What about an enclosed transom with a jack-plate?
