Re: Bracket
OOp's!! Sorry BGA!! :-X :-[
But its ture, they have the crapest boats!! and this is a cheap way of doing it! There is a guy that welds here he just takes 1 1/2 or 2 fence post and makes them, he sent one for power coat and its nice!! If you don't need flotation this is the way to go!!

Re: Bracket
this is just a hunch, but, the set-back on a bracket [ usually 26"-30"] may change any weight issues. True, the sea-drive is probably heavier, but it's right up against the transom.....new bracket is lighter but now two feet behind the transom......just thinking out loud here, BGA what is the set back on your bracket?, doesn't look to be 26"-30" ?? BTW, I almost bought a V w/ the same type of bracket and an older 200 Johnson. It did not have a trailer, and it was from N.C.[ Wilmington] 700-800 miles from N.Y., it was a brokered boat and after two conversations with the guy I didn't have a good feeling about him or the boat so I passed
