They are both taken in brackish water within a mile of each other. The first pic has the kicker and me for added weight and the boat does look like it's sitting really low. The kicker probably made it tilt a little to the starboard side.

I've had two bracketed boats and the only diffeence that I noticed before and after is that the boat handles like it's 2.5 feet longer. Ride is the same or better.

Heres a couple pics of my first test drive with the bracket and a short clip of Capt Chuck's boat getting it on. Compare the running surfaces of the bracked boat vs the non bracketed boat. Both boats are at cruising speed 30 plus MPH.
