30" set back too much?

I little recommendation based on my own personal experience with a bracketed V20. a 20 foot boat is on the short for a bracket. Lots of people will tell you not to bother, but the key is you'll need to consider the balance point of the hull after you have added the bracket. Believe me, putting 400 lbs 30" further back will effect how it sits and rides in the water. Am I'm not just referring to buoyance compensation with a floatation bracket - ( A typical Armstrong like floatation bracket doesn't really help that much unless your running a 30" shaft.) Suggest you consider repositioning the tank / or console further forward to compensate. otherwise I don't suspect you'll be happy in the end after going through all that effort.

Just my two 2 cents.
