Sweet idea with the bait well. Dare I ask how much the transom refirb cost without the bracket? Does the boat sit higher in the water now with the bracket?

Overall beautiful!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Nice series of pics [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] . What a beauty!

Capt Brian, to redo the transom, the livewell, rerouted the scuppers, made a fish box with a pump in it to drain, hang the bracket & repaint it was jsut under 50000.00 the bracket was another 2000.00. Yes, she floats higher if you look at the old water line the bracket raised the boat an 11/2. I will float in about a foot of water know, its awesome.As far as the livewell it actually works not like before when it was in the deck.The fish box in the floor works really nice its insulated you can drop the fish in right their without having to walk to the front cooler like before.No more bending down to get live baits their right there waste high,

Sorry, I have no idea how that happened.Im looking in to a new 250 Ficth but man are they expensive, the 7 year warranty is whats interesting. RS.

Nice rig. Looks like a great set up and worth every penny!

Re: Diego Toiran's 1973 23 CC
 

beautiful job. in fact that is exactly the way i want mine to look. what type of leaning post did you put in? does Armstrong make a bracket for twins? how much tweaking did you have to do after the bracket was installed to gain back the performance you had before? any thing you would or would not have done? any info you have at all would help out tremendously.

Re: Diego Toiran's 1973 23 CC
 

Hello Popeye sorry I havent responded ,been busy fishing. The leaning post I kind of redesigned to clear so the rods would clear the top. Smittys boat tops in Miami put it together. As far a tweaking it runs better know than it ever did before.The only thing I would change is the drain holes on the sides when theirs to much weight water comes in into the fish box in the deck, I would put these higher at least 6 inches.In my case I'll plug it whenever I think about it eventually I'll put a longer hose with a bend upward to prevent the water from coming in.Yes, Armstrong does make a twin bracket. Hope this helps.DT.

Popeye, no Im not thats Jose Wejebe in the Spanish Fly, its a 32 Seacraft.I have been doing some fishing shows that air in Miami on the weekends, they are spanish speaking fishing shows In 2004 will be filming some shows in the outdoor channel,these will be in English. RS.

Re: Diego Toiran's 1973 23 CC
 

Hey Reel-
In your post above where you are describing what you had done,it says just under fifty thousand, is that supposed to be five thousand? Cause if it's fifty Ill just buy a new seacraft, lol

Re: Diego Toiran's 1973 23 CC
 

No its 5 thousand.

Re: Diego Toiran's 1973 23 CC
 

Popeye by the way I would'nt pay 50,000.00 for a new one, about another 25 or 30 you can get a 28 Whitewater with twins. Dont get me wrong I like Seacrafts, but the old ones.

Re: Diego Toiran's 1973 23 CC
 

I may have a 20 ft potter for you I am in negotiation

Re: Diego Toiran's 1973 23 CC
 

Barnaby Im looking for a project 18 or 20.I might be selling my 23( not that I really want to) but need a bigger boat to charter( looking for a 28 Whitewater.I want to have a smaller Seacraft, but it needs to be a project that I can start from scratch pretty much like Trayders,Thanks.

Re: Diego Toiran's 1973 23 CC
 

I dont know ted probably around 20,000.I have to find the other boat first.Im actually going to go by the Whitewater and See Vee plants in Miami in two weeks to see what they cost new.I need a 28 and they both make what im looking for.RS.
