Flotation bracket

[Tunaorlater]

Has anyone ever added flotation to their existing bracket or installed a flotation bracket on a 23dvcc to get rid of the low speed plaining issue? Seems like it would be an easy solution to the problem. I know all about the rev 4 wheels and what not but that’s just a band aid on the issue. Making the bracket follow the hull all the way back to the motor should be the solution. Just thinking out-loud here ......

Do some research on engine brackets......With what you propose....It's just a longer hull.

What your explaining has been done. I’m exploring the same idea myself. I’m undecided if I’m going to fabricate 2 aluminum tanks or simply expand the current flotation portion of my bracket.

Check out this link below. The individual added floatation he fabricated. Pretty slik. you have to scroll down to see it.

I agree. Putting the engine to the hull and not having that gap between planing surface and propulsion should take care of the issue.
