The width is 30 inches. More pictures on this thread will be better for people in the future. I plan in gusseting it more, so I can put a kicker on as well. I'm most likely going to paint it, but I'm going to leave it the way it is for a year to keep an eye on the welds and make sure...

Little update to anyone that's interested. The brackets almost fully welded out. Almost ready to be mounted on the boat.

I feel your pain with the floor, I had to replace the middle sections they were a little soggy. Luckily the side sections are still solid. I'll keep the extra layer of 1708 in mind. The pictures will definitely help out. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I've starting building the bracket already, but everything you said matches up to what I've done. I started it using CAD (cardboard aided design) lol, I went through 3 different designs before I settled on the one in the pictures. I'll post more pictures and dimensions as I...

There's many ways to skin a cat. What I did was stronger than what they did from factory. They only had one layer of glass, maybe 2. I'm also putting 3in by 3/8 aluminum backing plates to help distribute the load.

I have a 1986 228 seafarer, which I'm converting to a outboard. Before everyone posts how hard it is, I know I've already replaced the transom, floors and glass in the key hole. I'm going to be building the bracket from scratch and I'm looking for some pictures and dimensions of their brackets...
