Fiberglass bracket questions

[Bigshrimpin]

CB - I'm no expert, but I've built a few. I can say with all honesty that building them won't save you much on those 2 builds unless you KISS. Hermco Style brackets have some complex shapes and take way more time and effort to copy (I mean model your design after) . . . I did a simple one for my dad's seawolf to hold a 30" 225 EFI and it was a LOT simpler than trying to copy Hermco's style. It was an ugly duckling b/c it had to fit b/w the trim tabs, cover 32" of transom over old stainless marine bracket holes, and hold a 30" motor. This style is cheaper and quicker to build and there's not one stress crack after 5 years. Down the center is one giant stringer inside the tub.
