No Bracket option for Adventure

[BigI]

I noticed that the Adventure doesn't have the bracket option. Does anyone know the reasoning? Is there inherent performance issues w/ the overnighter w/ the bracket? Or, is it an incompatibility w/ the SV2 hull?

My guess is the hull is too short to be able to counterbalance the weight of the motor being moved further aft.

With the right bracket it would probably work, but the wrong bracket would kill the boat's handling or flood the scuppers. Too little flotation and you're going to force the stern down causing drainage problems. Too much will make the bow plow. It's a small boat so there isn't much room for error. It would take a custom bracket and by the time you're done, you're better off buying a different boat.

I wasn't interested in putting one on the adventure as much as I want to know why they don't offer the option. They continued to offer it on the bigger models, seafarer and gulf stream etc.
