20 foot center console with a bracket

I think that in order to negate the difference in c/g, the bracket would have to have the same cross section below the waterline that the hull does. That's if you're talking about its buoyancy. It's possible that moving the engine like that doesn't make that much difference in the way she floats, though. If my fat *** moves a couple feet closer to the transom in my friend's 17 fisherman it makes a big difference.
