OK, I'll ask... * ???

Macojoe, how did your boat do with the bracket?? *What engine is on it??? *

I am talking to D&D about a bracket with a LARGE flotation tank on it....

I'll let MJ explain his story but I can tell you that when installed correctly with the right bracket on a V20 the motor will not dunk.

The bracket guys on the site should be able to answer any of your questions. ;) 8)

Don't get freaked out until you've talked with them.

Your right H20, V-20's with brackets sink almost immediately. You should sell me your boat before anyone gets hurt ;)

The only thing worst than a V-20 with a bracket is the later model Wellcraft V-21's, they don't even float ;D

Mulv

Thanks for the heads up... ::) but I think I will see this through.. it ain't my first rodeo with an old boat .. just my first with a bracket.....

I am still pretty sure that a D&D bracket & a Yammie 150 will work out just right.... might have to borrow some hot air to put in the hull to help with flotation.... 8)

Blueh20:

I assume since your replacing a Sea drive I asusme that you have a cutty cabin and not a center console? The reason I ask is that the difference in installing a bracket is significant between the two. MJ and Willy (Old school) both had cutty's with brackets installed and from what I hear they have no complaints. On the other hand BuilderFl and I have center consoles with bracket and both of us are currently working through issues with weight distrubution to address problems that arose after installing the bracket. ByGracealone has a dually with a non-floation Gill bracket installed but I haven't heard form him regarding performance as of yet. Although is common, each configuration acts differently to the installation of a bracket, there is not a one size fits all rule for installation. PM me if more questions.

What the.. . Dang-it. What's all this mess about brackets on a 20 CC. I just bought one and I'm in the process of putting a 150 Yami on it. Now is a good time for those who have this setup to tell me I did'nt make a mistake.....
