Has anyone ever swapped out their older Stainless Marine bracket for a newer Armstrong bracket with flotation? I think the extra 300 lbs of flotation and 30" of planing surface on the Armstrong could be a real benefit.
But I'm worried about drilling a whole new set of mounting holes in my 23 year old transom...
Is that even practical to consider? Can the old holes be filled with dowels, epoxy, then faired over and glassed in to make them as strong/stronger than original?
Does anyone have experience with both the Stainless Marine and Armstrong brackets on a Parker? (The Stainless Marine were used on older Parkers before they switched to Armstrong brackets, I believe)
