Bracket mock up

[Kracker Jack]

Jason do you get on THT (the hull truth)? theres a guy on there building a Dusky he is very good with brackets and has actually started building his own for sale. His screen name is EDWARDPIC look him up he knows his stuff about bracket design, he could answer some design questions for ya.

No Kracker, i don't get on THT alot. Heck i dont even have username on there. CTerrebonne it will be a 23 after my bracket. 25 if you count the motor. 26 if you count the bow pulpit.

Just a thought, if i take pics thru out the build and document everything is it possible to get an inspection and possibly raise the hp and capacity ratings? The bracket will be a part of the hull not an add on? What do yall think? Or am i wasting time with an inspection?

[macojoe]

Softy inspection is great to have, and they will leave you alone on the water! But they are not going to change the original capacity plate, don't waste your time.

[RidgeRunner]

I agree with MJ on capacity plate, that isn't going to change. Which is why I don't have one... OOOps!

Ridge i think mine is about to fall off. On a side note, a V20 has less capacity than an 18 Fisherman. How the heck is that possible.

Just a guess, but it seems to me that if a V20 and an 18 fisherman both have the same amount of flotation, then the 18 would have a greater capacity simply because it has less weight due to no superstructure. Like I said, it's just a guess, but it seems logical.
