Re: transom bracket
Blueh20: Do you have a center console?
MJ: Yours is a cutty and Bygracealone has a Dually. They are completely different beasts than a Center Console when it comes to weight distribution. Inn my experience center consoles need more weight up front. Which is why I am moving my gas tank forward and Builder FL floods his fish box with water. Adding the bracket is not a problem and suspect when done right will add performance. Mine isn't there yet, but it will be soon.
Steve: You had a sea drive before if I remember right? There's no way what your hanging weighs any more than what was on it before! I won't worry about it. Beside the flotation doesn't help that much. If the boat is balance there is not to much of the bracket that is displacing water anyways. Regardless of what is advertised - that the true measure of flotation. I agree it helps, but I don't think it's going to make that much of difference in the long run.
