Armstrong and Stainless Marine are two ... there are some other good ones out there, but can't think of 'em right now ... Google Marine Brackets or Outboard brackets and see what happens??...


Another one called Gill Brackets I think...

DAD's MARINE(AKA D&D MARINE) and VIKING MARINE are another 2. And here is one that lists them on EBAY, A&J MARINE WELDING. And there is HERMCO who makes fiberglass ones, as well as ALLMAND BOATS makes fiberglass ones.

i think there are like 6 bracket manufactures, go to D & D marine, they have the links to all the competing brands. Look thru the archives here, there is a lot of work and set up involved to get it right, check with classicseacraft.com also, there has been a lot of research involved on brackets there

HELP.... :o

I was told today by a very reputable boat dealer, who also manufactures his own boat line that a bracket on a 20 ft boat is NOT a good idea..

He stated that even with the flotation under the bracket, the motor will submerge when stopping, in a following sea & when drifting with a following sea... He went on & on about the bad things about a bracket on a 20 ft boat.....

I was going to use a 150 to 175 to keep the weight down but he said even this was not good..

I just bought a really nice V20 with a SeaDrive that I wanted to replace with a bracket & outboard, but now I am getting the heebie jeebies.... as I intend to do a lot of jetty & offshore fishing with this rig....

Help please from those of you who have done this.

Thanks,

BlueH2O
