Yes, only trying to work around stuff that is already bolted in place: bracket, custom swim ladder and a pair of trim tabs. Is that the picure of Big Shrimpins project boat, beforehand? Spare, thanks for the link to the BS project bracket, I have checked out many times over and have a few pictures saved for reference.

Aquasport did that a lot as I recall. Buddy of mine had a 17 Osprey that I put a couple pistons in. It had the boxes like that.
Thanks for the input. Undecided as of yet but near about getting the itch.

For you bracket fans
Visit- HERMCO and check out the custom brackets.
Link -- http://www.hermco.net/boat_gallery.html Look at the splash boards/top of transom, all aluminum and form fitting in the before pics of the Mako 222. The Tsunami I really like. Do a bracket base for twins and with a single engine setup for my V. Not breaking any new ground here, it has already been done, very nicely I might add. HERMCO looks to do some fantastic work. On the HERMCO brackets - it looks to me that the bottom of the bracket doesn't swoop up at such a drastic angle as the Stainless Marine brackets do. Something I also took away from Big Shrimpin's build and Smoking Joe's. That and the V design would add additional bouyancy because it all happens below the waterline. I saw a picture on HERMCO's site that showed some thick core material and about 6 layers of biax, and that was only the inner skin. Heavy glass encapsulated wood frame I guess?? Jasoncoopercola- Your drawing nailed the design I had in mind perfectly and would be my second choice. Easier on the budget..

Thanks for the site Ridge. I got a couple new design mods for my bracket. Definately doing a v bottom bracket. I must say i like their design and they are a nice bracket. But what about weight? Its got to be at least 300lbs for a single!

If it is that heavy then I gotta go back and figure displacement. Every cubic foot of displacement is about 64 lbs worth of salt water. The Stainless Marine bracket is fairly light.

Ridge i just went through every pic on that website. I just called to see what the core material is that they used, its "Divinycell" They did transoms, floors, brackets, swim platforms and everything else with it. Those brackets may not be as heavy as i thought because the divinycell is low weight. A sheet of 3/4 is $194!
