Question:

I see none of the swivel brackets have recommended weight or boat size ratings. It looks like these CE10191GA-4 are the more heavy duty set, is that correct? My boat is 22foot and weighs about 3500 lbs. Do you think these would support it?

Expert Reply:

The CE Smith Bolster and Swivel Bracket Assemblies part # CE10191GA-4 do not have a specified weight capacity as it can vary by the strength of the u-bolts used in conjunctions with these brackets as well as how many brackets are used per board. I know this is frustrating to not have a specific weight capacity but unfortunately the manufacturer just does not provide this. If you feel you'll be exceeding the limits of the swivel brackets, you can always double up using multiple sets per board.

Please note, if you need u-bolts as well we have these as the CE Smith U-Bolts part # CE15283GA-8.
