American-Made Brackets Built for Performance & Flotation
Armstrong Positive Flotation Outboard Brackets are custom-made in the USA for new boat builds, repower projects, replacement brackets, and boats being converted from transom-mounted engines to bracket-mounted outboards. Designed around your boat, engine setup, shaft length, and performance goals, each bracket helps improve flotation, stability, fuel efficiency, speed, and overall performance — backed by quality craftsmanship and a 15-year structural warranty.

New Boat Builds
For boat builders, dealers, and owners designing a new boat or replacing an existing bracket, an Armstrong bracket can help improve performance, increase speed, add stern flotation, create a drier ride, and open up more usable deck space — all with a strong, custom-built engine mounting solution designed for long-term durability. -
Repower Projects
For older boats being upgraded with new outboards, an Armstrong bracket can help create a drier ride, improve fuel economy, increase speed, add stern flotation, and open up more usable transom and deck space — giving your boat a more functional, modern setup without starting from scratch.
ShipShape TV Comparison Test
In a ShipShape TV comparison test, Armstrong Positive Flotation Brackets showed clear advantages in performance, durability, reliability, and safety. Built for demanding marine environments, Armstrong brackets are designed to improve the way your boat runs while providing a strong, long-lasting outboard mounting solution.
Repowering Your Boat? Start With the Right Bracket.
Repowering is more than replacing engines. When you add an Armstrong outboard bracket, you can modernize the boat, improve engine placement, create more cockpit space, and support today’s heavier, higher-horsepower outboards. Whether your boat already has a bracket or you are converting from a traditional transom-mounted setup, Armstrong can design a bracket around your vessel and repower goals.
Built Around Your Boat, Not Pulled Off a Shelf
Every custom Armstrong bracket is designed around the specific boat and engine package. Our team reviews key details such as boat make and model, transom angle, engine quantity, horsepower, shaft length, desired setback, swim platform needs, paint preference, ladder options, and installation requirements before preparing a quote.

Customize your Build
Customize your Armstrong bracket or swim platform with optional upgrades designed to improve comfort, traction, visibility, and overall appearance.
Optional Evercor™ Mat for Brackets & Swim Platforms
Enhance both comfort and safety with our Evercor™ mat upgrade. This durable, non-skid surface is precision-fitted to Armstrong Brackets and swim platforms, providing superior traction underfoot—wet or dry. Built to handle the harsh marine environment, the Evercor™ mat is low-maintenance, UV-stable, and adds a clean, finished look to your Armstrong setup.
Why Choose Evercor?
Evercor is a high-performance cork-composite surface engineered for the marine environment. It’s naturally non-skid, lightweight, and shock-absorbing—delivering comfort and traction in all conditions. The closed-cell structure resists water absorption, mold, mildew, stains, and harsh chemicals, making it incredibly low-maintenance. Durable yet eco-friendly, Evercor is a smart, sustainable upgrade for Armstrong brackets and swim platforms.
Optional OceanLED™ Underwater Lighting
Add optional OceanLED underwater lighting to your Armstrong bracket or swim platform for enhanced visibility, custom style, and a stronger on-water presence. This upgrade can be considered during the bracket design process and integrated into compatible builds.
Why Choose OceanLED?
OceanLED underwater lights add a premium finishing touch to your Armstrong bracket or swim platform. Built for marine environments, they enhance the look of your boat while improving nighttime visibility around the stern. When planned during the bracket design process, OceanLED lighting can be integrated cleanly into compatible builds.
