Test

I am looking for a boat owner willing to let me use their boat to try out an idea I have. I would use mine but I do not currently own one. Idea is this, build and install a HermCo single engine 20" offset fiberglass bracket with a 4" or 6" offset Bobs jack plate. I would provide all parts and labor at my cost. The boat will need to be in running condition so I can get performance numbers prior to the install for comparison and be delivered here to my shop for the work. If you are interested shoot me an email,

Maybe,

How long would you need it?
Could you wait til July? It is time to fish after all.

my transom is dry and solid and 25 in. The Teleflex and control cables would be long enough , but maybe not the power and harness.

Oh and it`s also a Tracker. Shhh.

Cheers,
GFS

Hi Don:

If you ever need a 23 footer for a twin floatation bracket let me know. I would love for you to experiment on my boat. Shoot I just might want to help foot some of the expenses.

Hi HermCo,
I'm game, especially from the SeaCraft bracket legend... I even already have a jackplate if that helps. I have a 23. It's been casually for sale and I bet a bracket would help. I may even have you do some additional work while it's there. There are plenty of pics here: http://www.classicseacraft.com/forum...b=5&o=&fpart=1 Let me know if this fits your test program.
Regards, Andy

How about an 18? None of my rigging would be long enough though.

I have an 18 with an aluminum bracket w/ 22"setback and an etec 150. Could this be of use or do you need a bracketless boat for comparison?

I am looking for a bracketless to do a comparison. Thanks for the offer tho.

Did you find your guinea pig yet? I'll offer mine but I'm in Maryland.
