IMO I'm not sure a bracket on an 18'er is the way to go, but WTF do I know ??? :)

according to NADA your Force weighs 303 lbs.

When you were sitting on the motor was anyone else in boat?

This guy disagrees. ;D



This is the one I seen that made me wanna go bracket.


Yes a buddy was in the boat...the back.

Glassing over the scuppers, no longer self bailing?! :-/

20" notched transom now and no problem with water over the rear. I just want the space and other advantages of the bracket. :)


I dont like the no self bailing either, but dont think Ill have a choice.

If I put in the full transom with a livewell in the back itll make this boat exactly what I need. 8)


I also always have a 72qt cooler in the back full of water and live baits. This doesnt help either, but will offset the addition of the livewell. Well I mean it tells me already what ive lost...I mean Ive already lost that freeboard so no additional will be lost..I mean...Hell you know what I mean!! ;D
