bracket good or bad

[Bushwacker]

It's a good thing IF you use the lightest weight motor possible and do some other things to compensate for it's adverse effect on the boat's CG. AND use a bracket with maximum flotation to preserve the 20's limited self bailing capability! Don't waste your money on something like a Stainless Marine or Porta bracket with zilch flotation. I did a post a couple years back listing all the pros & con's of brackets on a 20 based on my research and personal experience.
