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!

It won't be cheap to build your own. Wonder how they put the divinycell together. I was thinking Coosa or Space Age with the reinforcing strength of fiberglass built in. Still 40% lighter than plywood and I know it is strong because my floor and hatches already have it as a core. Thanks for the legwork and info. Did you ever find the picture of them laying up a bracket? I swear I saw one on their website somewhere.

It is on Screamandfly.com Fiberglass section, SmokingJoe's thread about adding a bracket/outboard to a 24' Wellcraft Nova (originally an I/O). It is the most solid attachment I ever seen.. Strick and another fellow are still at it on the Classicseacraft.com site. Both places require a free membership to view pics.
