Re: WELLCRAFT 250
Hammer:
In regards to the see-saw effect of bracket, in my experience it is often very true. When installing a bracket most forget the the 26 setback of a motor will dramatically change the weight distribution within the hull - thus it will act funny under power - grab air - sea-saw and such.
Take a look at Willys boat sitting in the water and notice how level it is....( in my opinion the best sitting bracket V20 I've seen)
Most bracketed V20 ( including mine) don't sit that way and often are very stern heavy - resulting in the problems often reported with brackets.
I intend to rip my deck up and move my fuel tank ( 55 Gal) all the way up to the casting deck to re balance the hull this spring. I expect this will correct many of the problems I have been experiencing and make the ride what it should be as well as raise the scuppers so their not even with the water line when dead in the water.
