Re: 1976 23 Inboard
 

I took a chev 350 and stock trans out/ will not be using them. purchased a yanmar. I took the deck out and was going to use the insert sides until a seacraft rebuilder talked me into taking the insert out and putting in knees and a deck to the hull itself. Im also going to to pull the seacraft stringers and put wooded stringers in. Using a cape cod marine 26 for design and motivation.

How much was the yanmar package and what horse power are you going with?

I went with the four cylinder (4LH). 230hp. I was told that it was the right motor for the boat. Time will tell. But, have faith in my contacts.

I almost went with the 230 Yanmar, thats the right call per my research but big bucks. I dont like the 17 x 17 wheel, its too fat, loud, and holds back.I have the original wheel somewhere, but its not the 17 x 17, its 16 with 5* cup...have to check my files.Love the IB thread.
