Default 20 foot center console with a bracket

I found this one on the boattrader. Is it just me or does it look like it would be really stern heavy?

And it's got a flat tire and a bent bow rail.

Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing Reel. It seems like every boat that has a bracket on it is said to be stern heavy. Is mine going to be too stern heavy? I hope not :-/

That bracket puts the outboard waaaay out there. Does that make it stern heavy?

I am sure its fine, he has the trailer up in the front and with the bracket out. Just illusion.

But there is no doubt that a bracket changes the center of gravity on these boats! and it does seem worse on the CC as the cuddy is heavier up front.

Tire is nothing and the rail what can I say, But if all is solid and the motor checks out that is a good price.

Does flotation in a bracket actually help offset the additional weight of the bracket ?? ... ??? ...
