Default 18 CC with Bracket

Has anyone put a bracket on a 18 center console? I know I have seen pics and read several people say they were going to do this but has anyone on here done it and how do you think it would perform with a 90 to 115 hp outboard?

Reg, I don't think anybody has done it on this forum on an 18'. I think a number of people feel that the 18' may be too small for a bracket; some think it may cause the boat to be prone to porpoise.

I think your biggest problem would be the weight extending much further off the transom in a 18 footer, unless you used a small light weight engine and got a very light bracket you will be to low in the arse causing all kinds of problems

Ya thats kinda what I thought but some came with a seadrive so I figured I'd ask. What do you do with one of these factory seadrive hulls once the seadrive is shot?
