<p>Performance is absolutely incredible. Way outperforms the original 233 Mercruiser stern drive. Top speed is low 50s with light weight in smooth water. I highly recommend the Armstrong bracket. They've done several of these boats.</p>

<p>Rick, Where would I find the write up on your boat? I'd like to read it.</p>
<p>Thanks, Mosby</p>

<p>Looks great Mosby ! I spoke to you about this setup years ago... great to hear your happy. Your boat looks like it came out of the factory that way. I converted mine to a bracket in 1989 and never regretted it also with amazing results. I know you have had your boat a long time and can appreciate what I did to our Formula. I recently completed a TOTAL rebuild of our boat and transformed it into a center console. I found an original 233 CC top cap from a project boat and swapped it onto my…</p>

I recently completed a TOTAL rebuild of our boat and transformed it into a center console. I found an original 233 CC top cap from a project boat and swapped it onto my boat. Even though the rebuilding of entire boat was a ton of work I could not be happier with it. There is a write up on Formulas archive web page . </p> Well I finally did it...

<p>Well I finally did it... Hung a Suzuki 300 on the back with an Armstrong bracket. I completed the project this past spring and I couldn't be happier with the results. The boat performs remarkably well.</p>

<p>Henry,</p>
<p>I'm back to my outboard bracket project. I've convinced myself this is the way I want to go. I haven't picked up much more information yet but am back in the research process. I'm thinking seriously about building a fiberglass bracket and extending two stringers into the original I/O motor area and butting them up against the bulkhead which heads off the fuel tank. This would be super strong compared to the bolt-on brackets. I also want to incorporate a platform. I've…</p>

<p>I'm back to my outboard bracket project. I've convinced myself this is the way I want to go. I haven't picked up much more information yet but am back in the research process. I'm thinking seriously about building a fiberglass bracket and extending two stringers into the original I/O motor area and butting them up against the bulkhead which heads off the fuel tank. This would be super strong compared to the bolt-on brackets. I also want to incorporate a platform. I've looked at hermco.net and their brackets look fantastic. They make bolt-on molded fiberglass brackets. The ones on the back of the Sea Crafts look great and that's exactly the look I want.</p>
<p><br/>I'll post updates as I move along.</p>

<p>Hello Mosby,</p>
<p></p>
<p>I am at the same point in my renovation/restoration and have been contemplating a bracket for twins that will put the transom approximately 30"- 36" further back from the "Factory" transom. I am also considering a bracket that starts one inch above the hull bottom and increases in height approximately 1" up for every 12" of setback. I am hoping to build in quite a bit of floatation to aid in supporting dual four-stroke outboards. So, as far as the final…</p>
<p>Hello Mosby,</p>

<p>I am at the same point in my renovation/restoration and have been contemplating a bracket for twins that will put the transom approximately 30"- 36" further back from the "Factory" transom. I am also considering a bracket that starts one inch above the hull bottom and increases in height approximately 1" up for every 12" of setback. I am hoping to build in quite a bit of floatation to aid in supporting dual four-stroke outboards. So, as far as the final dimension of the bracket, I don't quite have those dimensions figured out. I am still in the "Measuring" stage of this bracket build..... If you (Or any other board members), have any additional information you would like to share, I would greatly appreciate any feedback or ideas that you have. Thank you in advance!</p>
