It's like nonskid without grit. I'm 60 and I haven't had any problems staying upright.

Cap supports

Lots of long boarding

Building the coaming boards

High build on the sole and gunnels. 3 layers of 12oz biaxial to glass the cap to the hull.

Also I need convincing on whether to power her with a standard 300 Suzuki or a 350 dual prop. What does the internet think?

1. Which lower unit/prop would you rather hit a rock with?

2. The 350 is HUGE and is HEAVY. I helped mount one on a 24 silverhawk. The boat is stoopid fast and really stern heavy.

She is moving to paint
 

She is headed to holy city Boatworks for more sanding and paint.

I have been following your rebuild and see you have done a top shelf pro job Capt!
I have a few questions, as pictures are sometimes deceiving. 1.)What was your decision factor in installing spray rails? The 23' SeaCraft has never been known to require them when proped correctly and coupled with trim tabs. I have heard of few 20's having them being
removed later only after burying their nose.
2.)What calculations or measurements did you use when determining the length & placement fore to aft of the rails?
Thanks for a comeback
