Hey Ferm:
Check the post I made on Joe's Maiden Voyage post in reply to Joe..
The bracket I am going with is way different that a fixed Gill or D&D style bracket...
The reason is down here on the Texas coast (aka: The Third Coast or Redneck Riviera) we have a lot of deep bays, pretty good near offshore & a BUNCH of shallow bays & back country..
Now I can fish for Tarpon (primary), Snapper, Ling maybe some Wahoo and in shallow water Speckled Trout & Redfish...
I will post some pics of the old girl since I have done a few interior mods as soon as I can...
Thanks for the help,
Thirdcoast
