Just can't go wrong with the Yammy F250s you can't beat um! And those #s your getting are quite impressive for sure! upwards of 50mph+- On a bracketed 23 SeaCraft, just awesome!. Yet from all accounts it rides more like a 27' boat, I can't wait to get my rig back from paint so I can finish rigging. Everything is in.

It took two practice trips to figure out exactly how to put a bait down 1600' with 15 lb. of weight (and then get it up) using a manual reel, but I got two swordfish on the seacraft yesterday :D

I love this boat, but without a counter balance of another guy on the opposite gunnel, I would think twice before pulling one 100+ lbs bigger than this over the gunnels :eek:

Seacraft did her job and ran great loaded down. Probably as loaded as she has ever been; 110 gallons gas, 500 lb of crew, 100 lb ice, 60 lb of drop weights, 2 dive tanks, lots of gear, plus fish. burned less than 50 gallons all day.

Sweet good to hear!

shine just looked over our thred and saw the braces for your rod holders-- did the same thing only thing I forgot was to include the thickness of the gunnel before drilling the holes in the plate they move when it drops down for the gunnel
