Looks Great Adam!! Hope the bracket solves your issue. Can’t wait to see you test it out! I had the same problem on an old restored Mako and the Armstrong bracket totally solved the problem. Thanks for the video I enjoyed it.

Just curious, were trim tabs added into the equation? Also were the porta brackets being utilized and if so were they used while trim tabs were being used. There are a lot of factors that can be made into this comparison. That being said, i love porta brackets and i love Armstrong. Both awesome additions to a boat.

James, Adam’s Porta-Bracket was actually not functioning as a trim unit and fixed into one optimum position, from what we can recall. So, had one baseline there. Trim tabs were kept at a baseline, as well, in each comparison. Definitely not easy to do, with so many variables! That said, as mentioned in the series, Adam was already seeing the benefits of his engines being further aft, for performance gains, with the Porta system. The Armstrong bracket benefits seen were almost all at rest, due to the newly found positive flotation. We look forward to doing this comparison again on a boat that has an engine mounted directly to the transom, then adding a bracket - that should yield many more performance changes!

Was this before or after he replaced the fuel tank?

How's the ride on that boat? I'm deciding between the new Parker 26cc or the bluewater 25t or 2550.

Depends what your looking for Adam does alot of fishing at anchor and with customers so the parker was the right boat for him to be stable at anchor. Parkers have pretty low deadrise at the transom. The blue water is an offshore missile with sharp deadrise back at the transom. It will eat the waves but tend to rock and roll more at anchor or drifting

@@Turbotalkin Roger that. Looking for that balance. Something that'll eat up the waves but not rock and roll either. Guess there's no perfect vessel. I don't have the Pockets for a freeman or Costa.
