older gil brackets

[tangofniro]

Does anyone know anything about the older tubular style gil brackets? I know they provide no flotation... anything else?
Found one for $100. If its quality I'm going to grab.

Save your $100. I've read more then once of a broken older Gill bracket. Not worth risking your motor.

Most of those old brackets are steel tube and rust from the inside out.

I let the deal pass,
Think I'm going with a bracket from Dusky Marine, all fiberglass.

thanks 70's
Haven't had time to make by your office, maybe soon though.

Is that an open bracket w/o a swim platform?
Did you look at the Seamark? I've been very happy with my ride to say the least.

THey have 2 diff models, one is open and one is enclosed full transom length.
Seamark Bracket is a lot of jack, the dusky is about half that.
