Dry weight on a 150 through 200 small block ETEC with a 25 inch leg is 433 pounds.
Much better throttle response, time to plane, and general overall handling. Ive only run yamahas though, cant comment on the others.
I would only use a bracket if she was a full transom model to begin with due to close quarter handling, less weight, and less rigging.
I agree that the relationship with your dealer is key.
