Bigshrimpin, I'm not an expert on performance, but my experiences with brackets on small boats has told me to keep the powerhead as high above the water as possible. I do agree that they look a little funny however i think that they stay drier. I know that you are in the process of building your own bracket, is that going to be a flotation bracket? If so maybe it will keep the stern up high enough so that it will not be an issue.
