Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one

Wasn't the intention to due a full refit, but as things went along I did the old might as well. About the only thing I didn't do was raise the floor, as it worked out, she drains just fine, as long as no one is in the boat.

Did the standard stuff, cut the transom out,raised it for a 25" shaft, took EVERYTHING off, the old fuel tank was mounted above deck under the console, cut a hole in the deck and mounted the tank underneath the deck, cut the old motorwell out and did this transformation.http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/r...DSC_0176-1.jpghttp://i482.photobucket.com/albums/r...cture003-1.jpghttp://i482.photobucket.com/albums/r...Picture009.jpghttp://i482.photobucket.com/albums/r...oy2/pic001.jpg

That red bottom makes the seafoam green(?) really pop. Looks like you've got a SC collection at your marina. Very nice work.

Caymanboy 02-17-2009 10:44 PM

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one
 
Aquamist green, kinda funny really, that is not my normal slip, didn't think much about it, then saw the boats next to me, good comparison between new and Classic

Congratulations on a great restore. Love the colors and the two-tone deck. The swim platforms were a great idea. Gives me something to strive towards.

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one
 
One question Cayman boy........i noticed your deck drains are "down and out the transom" style as is expected for the model year.....im still trying to decipher whether mine is a '69 model or '70 model.......by any chance can you tell me how your non skid is patterned around the deck drain? ....from this sketch. Thanks in advance!!! Since i bought a project boat that was already someone else's project some things were missing and im going crazy just trying to piece everything together.........and one of those things is correcting the model year....since my title states 79 which mine is clearly not!! I'm rambling but any help would be nice!!!

ShaZaam, Caymanboy!
Very nice, Must fly with that 200 yammie.
Congrats on splashing her. :cool:

Caymanboy 02-18-2009 04:52 AM

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one
 
Answer to McGillicuddy and realclassic20sf. Deck drain nonskid is similiar to the drawing on the right, soft curves, no hard angles, I sanded all the original pattern off. It moves along, I haven't installed the GPS yet, so I don't know top end, hole punch is impressive, had an overheat at high RPM, I'm cleaning the heads and such, only got 5100 out of it swinging a 19" wheel, this w/e going to put it back in, see if I've solved the o/h issue and figure out why I'm not getting the turns, cav plate is 1/2" above bottom. Any thoughts? Still not possitive I'm getting full throttle throw. First time I've run that engine, trying to get out the bug's out, itsa 1999 OX66. Once I figure out the o/h, I'll chase the rpm issue and do a gps run. this site has been a HUGE help in my refit, looking forward to the changes on the nexy one!!

Very, very nice. I like those deck lights. Also, excuse my ignorance, but are those cup holders inside of the console? Clever idea, seems like a decent spot to drop wallet/cell phone/whatever else one would typically put on the dash that is bound to fly off. Or hide your "soda" from the marine patrol.

Is that a Lauderdale Yacht Club flag? I keep my boat at Sundance, right there off Cordova.

Caymanboy 02-18-2009 07:54 PM

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one
 
Thank you very much, the lights are nice, they dim and go white or blue, xcatly what the holders are for! And yes, it is LYC, right around the corner.

Your boat is a beauty. I am working on a 1978 20' MA and seeing your finished product has me pumped. The sea foam colored deck is sweet! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Caymanboy 02-18-2009 11:04 PM

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one

I have a couple of friends that will take that beater off your hands for you! :D I am just kiddin you did an amazing job with the boat. The wiring is slick and clean, the paint job looks great. very impressive. good luck with her.

Caymanboy 02-24-2009 06:22 PM

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one
 
Performance question, I have a 200 ox66, turning 5200, swinging a 19" blade, she is getting 42 kts, that sound about right?

zach 02-24-2009 09:25 PM

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one
 
May be comparing apples to oranges, but I can consistently reach 47-48 kts when light (2 people, 30 gallons of fuel).

This is with my 175 Opti Pro XS spinning a Mirage 21P at 5600. On a bracket.

Caymanboy 02-24-2009 10:13 PM

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one
 
Zach, did I see you boat sitting in the water over the w/e at Sundance? We were at s/p for dinner. good looking boat!!!!

zach 02-25-2009 11:01 AM

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one
 
Yep, that was me.

Absolutely Spectacular,what a beautiful job.

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one
 
I second the comments, nice job! 2 questions, where did you get the switch panel mounted on the console w/ the Seacraft logo? and is the speaker mounted under and left of the wheel for VHF, stereo or both? Thanks.

Caymanboy 03-13-2009 03:06 PM

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one
 
Thank you! Got the panel from scott at Vectorled scott.cambra@vectorled.com, great work panel is awesome. The speaker is a Standard Horizon MLS310, mainly built for VHF, has a small amp in it, it is great also.

red20 03-13-2009 07:07 PM

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one
 
Awesome job Caymanboy. I really like the lights and the swim platforms you built....how are they working out?

Caymanboy 03-14-2009 08:19 AM

Re: Refit of a 1970 20cc, my first one
