So I have been doing a lot of research and asking around before I make a final decision between the 8's or the 10's. Seems like anyone that has had the 10's over the past few years is going back to the 8' because of the amount a sway the 10's have. I talked to a guy today that believes the new sandwich style stern bracket coming on the new 10's has taken a lot of the sway out. Real world experience with the new 10's? Thoughts?
i have a 10 with the new bracket. i havent had it long but i dont have any issues
My 10s sway more than my 8s did. I wonder if the new and improved brackets will work on the "last year" blades

It's not really the brackets that allow them to sway. It's the flex in the fiberglass poles and knuckle.
Is it so much that you would go back to the 8's or is it worth the 2 extra feet of depth?Originally Posted by Tim W
To be honest.... I wish I had 8s. My 8s held so much better.

it is actually the stern bracket that changed not the mounting brackets, the stern bracket is actually part of the powerpole itself.
