I GOT IT HOME (PICS)
 

well i finally made it home with no trailer lights or a tag on it. i had my friend follow to me to keep the police away. :) so again the boat is a 1987 23 CC. i know its not a classic but i still have my 73 20 SF so im still legit. im starting to realize the sickness of these SC's. i know it doesnt look like much now but it has alot of potential in my eyes. i have to give a huge thanks to my fiance to supported me getting this boat.

motor needs some work. im hoping that ill get some info here from our local merc guru. its a 98 250 efi. trailer is in good shape. springs and axles in good shape. needs tires and bunks and new lights. gotta see if brakes are required in florida or not. plans are to redo floor, rewire everything, paint outside, fix trailer, fix motor then use and use and use. i think transom is ok. the previous owner took the brass tubes out of the drains. i put my finger in there and it feels dry. all in all im happy.

Nice thats the one in hialeah, right? good score. Good luck with her she will be a beaut when youre done with her! P.S. that merc is a good motor when its running right. I had one on my Mako and all it ever wanted was routine maimtenance and it ran great :D

Re: I GOT IT HOME (PICS)
 

yes that WAS the one in hialeah. now it lives in kendall. first order of business is the trailer. it needs new bunks and needs to be set up properly because the boat will be sitting on it for a while while i work on it. can anyone with a 23 and a bunk trailer post some pics for me? i want to see the best way to set up a trailer for this particular boat. thanks so much

Re: I GOT IT HOME (PICS)

Re: I GOT IT HOME (PICS)
 

you know whos boat this used to be??? if you do id love to know more info about it. i got it from a guy in hialeah fl.

Re: I GOT IT HOME (PICS)
 

nah i dunno ...i was asking if it was a snowbirds....those reg. numbers are tied to the title and the hin...the reg. numbers on the side could be researched somehow through nj Motor Vehicle Commision but I doubt they will tell you anything...a state cop up here could run it for ya.....i know two state troopers, there both in NH skiing and boozing for a few weeks...

Re: I GOT IT HOME (PICS)
 

it has a florida title now, and the title has new FL registratin numbers on it. the previous owner never put them on it. what happens to the NJ registration numbers?

Re: I GOT IT HOME (PICS)
 

bear with me after living in Detroit where you handle your license through the Secretary of State, and NJ switching from the DMV, dept.of motor vehicle to the MVC, motor vehicle commision...and florida's ......what is it Drivers License beareu?.... im thoroghly confused.......... the numbers on the bow save them check back with me in a couple weeks NJ......

Re: I GOT IT HOME (PICS)
 

my boat is an 87. according to this chart it could be either a tracker or a seacraft industries? how would i go about finding out for sure??
SEC = SeaCraft Inc (Potter 1969 thru 5/80)
csy = Carribbean Sailing Yachts (1980-1982 23'& 27' SeaCrafts only)
SIC = SeaCraft Industries Corp (1980 thru 1987 other SeaCraft Models) (Potter on Board of Directors approx 1 year after sale)
TXY = Sarasota Marine Corp ('86-'88 csy Parent Co)
SIC = Tracker SeaCraft of Fla (1987 thru 1990) all models
SXC = Stern Craft Corp (1994 Silver King Parent then Tracker Parent Co in 1995)

Re: I GOT IT HOME (PICS)
 

first 3 letters in VIN #

Re: I GOT IT HOME (PICS)
 

i know. my boat has SIC in the vin, but if u look at the year break down there is 2 with SIC and they both have 1987 in them.

Re: I GOT IT HOME (PICS)
 

3rd # from the end of the Hull ID # should be the month it was built.

Re: I GOT IT HOME (PICS)
 

Nice boat, maybe someday I'll grow up and get a BIG boat! :D Should be a good motor, only thing I know is, they drink oil like fuel. :rolleyes:
