Default Starting to sound like a broken record.

I was dead set on going to a bracket and full transom, but the more post I read and the more I think about it. My CC especially with my big live well is going to be way too stern heavy. I then remembered that my boat has a big panel that fits inside a channel and effectively creates a big splash well and would stop 95% of a wave comming through the back. So I guess I am convincing myself that not to fix what's not broken and leave the design like it is. I could also put a 200ho etec and move my batteries to the console and solve the extra weight problem.

I have a bracket with a 4-stroke Yammy 150. Two 13gal livewells and bigboy friends who ride back there. With a crew of four and fully loaded with 60g's of gas, ice, tackle and ALWAYS a full fishbox(haha), she sits less than 1/2" below the original waterline....

Not tryin to convince you just given you something to go on......And I love the way she sits back to a head sea. Certainly a godd conversion in my book.....

well that sure makes the case for the bracket. I thought she was going to sit way below the scuppers, it sounds like your boat still self bails at rest.

You wouldn't happen to have some bigger pics of your boat?

Looking at your avatar, that boat sure looks good with the bracket.
