Yes Tartuffe I am building what I call an outrigger bracket. I am buiding my normal stringer setup, but in the back, there will be sister stringers that extend out the back 30" and marry up to the main stringers for 66". The stringers extending out the transom will be the sides of my bracket. So I add a bottom, top, and figure out a mounting pad across the back. Then I have a flotation bracket. I am still glassing it off to the transom to spread weight. However wide the main stringers are will be my bracket width. Should provide enough flotation for my plan of twins in the future. But what I am truly gaining is 2' of back deck that was taken by the splashwell. That is what really has me excited.

MJ I have been posting some pics from my phone. I have not figured out how to photobucket on my phone. I can upload pics to photobucket but thats all I can do on my phone. So I just use the manage attachments bar which worked fine till yesterday. It does not work on the local fishing forum either?? So i think its a phone problem. Trying to figure out photobucket mobile.
Internet is off at the house so mobile is all I have now.

I spent a while trying to decide on my bracket design. I wanted the most flotation yet also wanted the most for performance potential. I liked the Hemco brackets how they have a v bottom yet I like the stainless because of their flat bottom that swoops up. So I decided onba hybrid design. A 13" pad that then follows the bottom angle up. It is 3" off the bottom on the angled sides and 4 5/8" off the bottom at the keel to the pad. 4 5/8" is the height from the keel to the first strakes. Then I had to decide on how tall to make the bracket. Spare mentioned to make the tub as tall as possible. But it did not look right with the motor cut out. It looked out of proportion. UNTIL I slid a piece of plywood over the cutout. Then it looked good! The outside of the tape is my final bracket outline. Still have to decide whether to make it swoop up or not.
