gettin' ready to launch !!
 

gonna launch my rig this week...it's a 1973 potter built 23 center console-it was rebuilt-transom replacement,repowered at that time-new merc 5.7 mpi with horizon package,bravo I drive,smart craft set up.boat was completley rewired,set up with a 3 battery system,seperated and electrically isolated.new electronics.the entire hull was refinished and sprayed in the original color gel coat.
this rig is one super sea worthy set up.the ride is great !-i know,i'm "preaching to the choir" here...i'm still impressed by this rig everytime i run it offshore...i've had this rig 90nm off the beach a few times,and it's performed great !! the stern drive set up is quiet,and incredibly fuel efficient-3nm per gallon !

Re: gettin' ready to launch !!
 

that's a sharp a$$ boat Pelican!!

glad you posted the pic - I am putting my new michigan numbers on my rig today and your numbers are displayed nicely there for an example.

do yo know where a guy could get a proper vintage SeaCraft decal like you have by your rear vent?

Re: gettin' ready to launch !!
 

The seacraft decals are available from a number of places. I used a buddy of mine here: www.seagalsigns.com

Re: gettin' ready to launch !!
 

I assume there were different logos over the years, maybe not - do you know where I can find the 77 or would the guy at Segalsigns know what I am referring to?

I also see that many of the rebuilds do not have decals. Is this because they never got to putting them on or is there a purpose - maybe to keep the clean look?

I am looking for info before I do anything to this boat I bought - so I appreciate any feedback!

I would rather leave mine plain than have the wrong decal on there.

thanks!

Re: gettin' ready to launch !!
 

Mine is a '76 I'm guessing they are the same. I didn't have the guy do the S swirl that was there because I didn't like it. Good vinyl, easy to put on, and any color in the rainbow you want.

PM me your email address and I'll send you a picture of mine if you want.
