it was only about 100 pounds a little more, and gave 400 pounds of float. the stainless marine is 125#, and gives like 315# of float

I am thinking the outrigger bracket will weigh a little over 100lbs. Using marine ply for the stringers and motor mount. The rest will hopefully be divinycell as the rest is the float chamber. I am thinking about going even wider with my bracket. Wider to the point, that its over my trim tabs and the actuator itself will determine where the bracket stops. Trying to get a 48" wide chamber. Then that leaves me room for twin engines without modification. The engines really need to be on 34 1/2" centers. But I want them as wide apart as possible. But for now its getting the single 2.5L Merc. Unless I find another during tax time.

mebbe think outside the box.... If you really want to maximise it then just make it the whole width of the boat and put the tabs on the bracket.... the further back, the more effective they are with less input... IE more efficient/faster

That should work nice!! But with most CC, I have seen they have their house's
more to the rear of the boat, thats why CC ride better, not so much weight forward. But I am sure at this point you know what you're doing!! So I will

Its 74" long at the gunnel, with the cap out of the hull it all looks out of proportion. Once I drop the cap back in, I will mount the mock up again. This was just to see how it would flow with the lines. Its 6' 3" headroom inside. Windows are 24" tall. I would like to make it longer butbI believe once the roof and front window mock is mounted, that It will all look better. Its really a simple design. The most complicated part is the actual windshield opening for the cuddy slide.

Good idea Smoke. But I am thinking the bracket will be out of the water when on plane. I have never owned a bracket boat so this is new. It will be 30" setback. But yeah, I have no problem mounting tabs on the bracket if they will still be effective. My bracket willbe 3" off the bottom of the boat.

If the bracket is out of the water then the tabs couldn't be on it.... maybe it should be even with the bottom of the boat with just the SLIGHTEST amount of rocker factored in to help lift the bow when tabs are retracted for max speed..... dunno.... might be virgin water here.

I have seen a few brackets custom made same as the hull, this way you 20 footer would be a 23 footer, then you can add the tabs to the bracket as its the same as the hull, not raised.
