Who is the manufacturer of the "mini-bracket" and do you have any pics before the redo of the folding splashwell? Thanks

Awesome rehab....

Nice job, was that the one listed in Pasadena, MD on Craigslist for the last couple years?

Will try and answer the questions all at once.

Paint type and color: Alexseal Carolina blue for the hull and Cloud white for the decks and boot stripe.

Performance:
4000 RPM 21 knots about 5 gallons an hour. 4 miles per gallon.. with only one on board.
4500 RPM 26 knots about 8 gallons an hour.
WOT 6000 RPM 37 knots.... haven't run that long to calculate fuel burn.
This is with non counter rotating props... Should get a bit more efficiency when we change the lower and switch to stainless instead of aluminum props.

Yes it was listed in Pasadena on craigslist for a while. She was a good starting point and I looked at everything within 300 miles... Settled on the boat that was only 10 miles from home.

Bracket: the old owner molded the bracket off of something else. We had to modify the bracket because it extended the running surface at an angle and created suction when getting onto plane. I remove 2.5" vertical height and glassed it back together then made integral with the transom upon rebuild. so far the bow drops nicely and the are no signs of any isses. Love that the through bolts cannot get wet.

Will be happy to answer any and all questions.

Thanks for all of the compliments!

I know you plan to put a top on her, but there's just something about the clean lines of a Classic SeaCraft without a T-top that I love! Awesome job!
