Default Porta Bracket

Has anyone used the Porta Bracket??

I like it as I would like to go into some of the backcountry as well as deeper bays & offshore...

Does anyone have a Optimax 150 on their V20 Cuddy??

If so, what kind of performance do you get??

Thanks,

Thirdcoast

Default thanks Ferm

Hey Ferm:

Check the post I made on Joe's Maiden Voyage post in reply to Joe..

The bracket I am going with is way different that a fixed Gill or D&D style bracket...

The reason is down here on the Texas coast (aka: The Third Coast or Redneck Riviera) we have a lot of deep bays, pretty good near offshore & a BUNCH of shallow bays & back country..

Now I can fish for Tarpon (primary), Snapper, Ling maybe some Wahoo and in shallow water Speckled Trout & Redfish...

I will post some pics of the old girl since I have done a few interior mods as soon as I can...

Thanks for the help,

Thirdcoast

I knew the porta bracket was different, I posted that one because it has the 150 OPTI on it. I know the PORTA's are popular down here in FL on the 23 DOLPHIN, PANGA, and similiar hulls.

Those are sweet! I'd love to be able to raise the motor straight up and run in the shallows.

Wonder how sturdy those are on a heavier boat? Seems the lateral forces on it would be significant in turns. Cool concept though.
