Armstrong brackets are floatation brackets. I have a Armstrong bracket on my boat and I love it. I am not familiar with A&J but based on the photos I saw on the link provided I would be willing to bet what they are calling their flotation bracket is the bracket with the V bottom. They both will provide floatation but the V bottom bracket will provide more. For $100 I would go for the the bracket they refer to as their floation bracket.

And how many brackets have I encountered with water in them...despite "sealed" access pies or whatever...

I have no idea but....

My B Bracket sealed very well for having a snap in pie plate access. I'd bet a screw in would have helped a little more but still.....
It had way more air than water.

Ok so I got a 29" set back, brand new $600, pretty sweet deal. Now my question is what is the proper mounting height for that, I have read a lot and am a bit unsure of what to believe. Please let me know anything that could help me. Also my motor is a 25" shaft.
