Gents, i recently became a bullet owner after a couple years of searching. Yes i would have rather had alli bullet but i could not afford it at the time. I have bought a 95 20xrd that had a 12 inch magnum hydronamic plate on it. It has a 250 mercury pro xs with dual power pole blades. With this being a 95 i have researched that it has the 2 braces transom. It has no cracks and is not loose by me jumping on it. Do you guys think it is to much weight and i could rip the transom out? Talk to me, let me know. It does have the big sandwich brackets that i will be replacing with the hydrilla gear brackets if you guys think it is safe. Let me know some of your opinions please. Id really like to keep them on there if at all possible, i had a ultrex on my last boat and i did not use the spot lock as much as i will the poles.
