Young will add a transom door for your swordfish!

They aren’t that expensive these days and they attract fish at night - great for swordfishing and bottom fishing offshore at night. They do look very amazing in clear water and do attract fish, actually a fine investment if you boat at night!

I would rather have the hull to deck joint high above the water and a fully enclosed transom.

James, Adam’s Porta-Bracket was actually not functioning as a trim unit and fixed into one optimum position, from what we can recall. So, had one baseline there. Trim tabs were kept at a baseline, as well, in each comparison. Definitely not easy to do, with so many variables! That said, as mentioned in the series, Adam was already seeing the benefits of his engines being further aft, for performance gains, with the Porta system. The Armstrong bracket benefits seen were almost all at rest, due to the newly found positive flotation. We look forward to doing this comparison again on a boat that has an engine mounted directly to the transom, then adding a bracket - that should yield many more performance changes!

Mike, can’t recall at the moment - but a 3-blade will certainly out perform a 4-blade when it comes to certain aspects, like top-end numbers - but with the CG change, one downfall to the bracket may be needing more trim tabs and also a 4-blade to lift the transom when planing and to prevent porpoising. Now, this can be offset by shifting weight forward in the boat, too. But, we agree, testing some other prop options is always a good idea! Biggest note - Adam was already seeing the performance gains of a bracket with his Porta-Bracket, hence the very small change in numbers on plane. Those gains came from simply moving the engine aft. Adam’s gains were mainly at rest. So, his engines were most likely already setup prop wise correctly for this setup. Now, if he had no bracket before, then it would be back to the drawing board completely for prop setup, absolutely! Thank you for the kind words and we aim to keep this kind of content coming!

We can assure you the angle is dead on :) they actually add some degree to it compared to the transom to provide some more negative tuck to help with planing 👍

We’re going to keep it coming, thanks for tuning in!

We’ll work on getting some rough costs!

We’re very proud to have Capt. LaBonte as one of our hosts! He’s the best!

He's a nice young guy who works very hard at fishing and running a RUclips channel, what difference does it make where he lives?

He’s a wanna be fisherman. No skills. He’s commercial one day charter captain the next RUclipsr that afternoon. Kid doesn’t know what he is. But he’s certainly not anything more than a recreational fisherman who thinks it’s cool to do commercial fishing. Kid can’t even gaff or cut fish.

jealous much lol the fact you talking about another man like that shows you are a little beta boy lol or a girl who knows lol

​@@peterk814He's a young man making his own way. Why the commercial charter capt hate? He's not at home playing video games all day. His youtube channel helps him get new clients who want to hire him to take them fishing. It's free advertising for his charter business.

@@peterk814he’s driven - he’s running multiple gigs, sounds like a ton of work, if you ask us. He also grew up fishing with some of the best fisherman in the industry. We’d say he has some skills. Let’s leave the personal attacks off our page and keep it to talking about boat performance 👍

Before 😢

Ya’ think?

Depends what your looking for Adam does alot of fishing at anchor and with customers so the parker was the right boat for him to be stable at anchor. Parkers have pretty low deadrise at the transom. The blue water is an offshore missile with sharp deadrise back at the transom. It will eat the waves but tend to rock and roll more at anchor or drifting

@@Turbotalkin Roger that. Looking for that balance. Something that'll eat up the waves but not rock and roll either. Guess there's no perfect vessel. I don't have the Pockets for a freeman or Costa.

@@waterskipilot145 I run a 35 hammercat for a guy the ride is amazing offshore moved up from a 33 invincible cat. Big cats are king I can stay on plane at 17mph run through 6-8s at 25mph or blast out on a smooth day at 50

@@waterskipilot145 I like 25 hydrasport vector hulls 25 and 26ft Makos 26ft grady 27 conch 25 contenders 25 seavee all great boats the Bluewater is right there with em with minor hull differences theres a huge difference between 21.5 degrees and 24 degrees in the way the boat rides

Everyone here covered this topic quite well 👍

There’s no doubt in my mind I’ll take my business to Mission Boating for any future mod needs! Great and informative work!

@@MarkFraley-uc4vpthank you! Love to hear this, we’ll keep ‘em coming!

Thanks! There’s more coming and it’s only going to get better!

They are not the cheapest - but they are the best and maybe one of the only “brands” that builds each bracket fully custom, every time. Most other household names have off the shelf brackets.

Just a promotion advertisement for Armstrong brackets 😊😂😊

@@leerobinson7086can’t produce content for free! Making a living over here. However, we do our best to be completely transparent and honest. Plus, this segment is very specific and educational. Whether looking to buy an Armstrong or build one yourself or elsewhere - this is a great guideline to make sure it’s done right!

But if he doesn’t there’s a 31 contender in his neighborhood that’s looking to pay for itself.

Footage is sharp as can be - must be internet on your end!

They look buried

Thank you, stay tuned!

It’s a great boat! Just needs a little fix!

The prop won’t give the transom flotation at rest 😉 but, certainly could help with hole shot and other on-plane performance.

We’d have to confirm, but fairly positive he’s had his share of 1000LB days kingfishing. Nonetheless, not lipstick. Watch the whole series! It’s simple really, adding positive flotation can do amazing things. You’ll be impressed.

I too agree it’s not lipstick on a pig, however I do not miss my older Parker 25. They really are built like shit, the floors and stringers just rot out and the foam inhales water. On top of all that they just ride awful. Now he has a new tank in the floor and a new deck, and the boat looks awesome, but it still will never ride good.

Hope you enjoy this series with him! Was great to work with!
