Engine Brackets for 23 cc

[joshmon71]

Armstrongs are cheaper, and do the job, but there is much more float in a Hermco. And you don't have the alum paint regimen do deal with. I have a Armstrong, but have hermco envy. Ideally you have a 30" shaft and a larger bracket for a single 30"( or twin 25"). Mine happens to be a 25" Verado, Armstrong, and dare say one of the heavier OB's out there. One big guy has wet feet in corner. self bails at rest. batts power steering pump and reservoir and 130 gallon tank all forward and or under console.

Gen 2? Is there more bracket being added to the Hermco like out to the middl strake I guess? sweet!

I did check out Hermcos site the other day, there was a shot of a hull extension. That looks very cool . Not on a 23 SC I think. Think Bly did that on his 20?

Some day....Hermco . Love to see someone Gucci up a SC 23 hull extension almost like a Euro transom on a Contender.

Old's cool was your Armstrong a single bracket or a double with a single on it ? Very good comparison photo of the two- I've got a double stainless marine with a single 200 ocean pro I'll be using feel like the extra capacity of the double bracket should equal out the set back

Not sure...I bought the boat w/Armstrong bracket but looking at the mount I guess single. If you can swing the $$$ for Hermco bracket man go for it. No regrets here.

I don't disagree but since I got mine basically for nothing other than helping a friend for a few hr's I'll stick with it
