The center of gravity and buoyancy, the type of hull, the engine (or engines) that we are going to attach, and the intended use of our boat are all factors that play a role in determining whether or not the mounting of a bracket will increase the performance of your boat.
To begin, it is imperative that we have a clear understanding that the attachment of a bracket will cause the center of gravity of our boat to move aftward. To what extent the vehicle's center of gravity moves rearward will be determined by factors such as the length and weight of the bracket, as well as the combined weight of the vehicle's engine(s).
However, is it possible for your boat to tolerate this change, and is it necessary or essential for you to be able to use your boat effectively? In the event that none of the preceding conditions are met, the rearward movement of the center of gravity may result in navigational difficulties, in particular when installing one or two four-stroke motors with XL lower units.
There are certain varieties of hulls, such as those with stepped bottoms, in which the boat's weight is so "strict" that any modification is not tolerated, and the mounting of a bracket would only have adverse effects.
The relationship between the vessel's center of gravity and its center of buoyancy is the fundamental idea behind the stepped hull design philosophy. In the event that this delicate equilibrium is upset, the boat's navigation will suffer as a direct result of the disruption.
