I just came across this photo of a Montauk 170 with a fixed kicker bracket:

Also, Joe, I noticed that your 1997 17 Outrage II (http://users.sisqtel.net/~jkriz/Outra...age17.html) looks like it had the Garelick bracket (or similar) with vertical lift, rather than a fixed bracket. What are your thoughts on this arrangment?
