Discount pricing for a Amrstrong or Stainless Marine Motor bracket?

knot @ work · 02-23-2003, 07:25 PM

I am looking to purchase a bracket made by one of these companies for a 1987 Grady White Gulfstream. I am repowering with new twin 140
four stroke Johnsons. It needs to be 26 x 82 inches and white. It seems the dealer who I am purchasing these engines from won't use any other brands on the market, since the dealer will be the one installing everything. I am trying to save a little money. Factory direct from Stainless Marine is $2399.00. Any help is appreciated.

What about B Bracket?? They are built just as good as those listed but normally cheaper

Thanks for the info. Also can anyone give me a web address for an Armstrong bracket? I need to find out some pricing.

The only problem I have had with Armstrong (besides the prices) is that the wait to get a bracket made(even if they have the template) is quite long. And they lied to me the whole time(It will be ready in two days......) took 4 weeks..... They are busy and dont care if they lose one customer whereas B Bracket is not as large and need the business more.

Just my .02

Selling the Sea Pro?What engines did the GW have? Are you replacing the Grady Drive or was this transom mounted with a splashwell?

I am not selling the SeaPro. This is for a friend of mine. Have you received your new Palmetto yet?

HHBC, I am replacing 1991 twin 175 Evinrudes (Gas Hogs). My friend wants more room. He wants the standard 26 inch setback and the 82 inch w/swim platform.

HHBC the motors were transom mounted and he is repowering with new twin 140 Johnson 4 strokes. We have a price of $16,500 to install everything new with the trade in of the old motors. Do you know anyone who might be able to do better on price (maybe you)??? I am still trying to find a bracket for the Grady White under $2000.00.
