thanks, hate to get rid of it but i had to get a 25" to match my enclosed transom and armstrong bracket. the motor also comes with shift, steering cables and a helm all ready to fit a sf 20.

Looks familiar! That motor sure is clean. Caught quite a few snapper in that pass by the way...Good luck on the sale Robby.

Power trim pump?

I've got a '74 Hewes Bonefisher for my the next boat restoration project, and this is tempting. Any idea what it weighs? NADA says around 300 lbs.

merc weight
 

Sounds about right 275_300 lbs.

trim pump
 

yep, it's included and works fine........

Newbie questions: Is there a long-shaft kit available for this motor? I like the weight of this motor, but having a 20" notch in the transom makes me nervous. How narrow could the notch be with this motor?

long shaft conversion
 

in stock at bay manufacturing..........thanks for the interest.

Still dreaming...serial number, please? I'm trying to get all the costs lined up...my wife's out of town for 2 weeks, and of course, I'm scheming!!

239-872-4934................rob.

Thanks. Still a long shot for me/us, but hey, I like doing research. I'll find out cost of long shaft conversion.

Well, that saved me some time! Thanks.
Still dreaming of Seacrafts "swooshing" back into the water...what a sound...
I agree with a previous post...Carl really was an artist. The Seacraft boats, in addition to having such a well balanced ride, are just perfectly in proportion.

compression test
 

at the request of a fellow member i ran a compression test last night. (not something i would normally do as this usually leads to dissappointment and depression). however in this case, neither a perfect 130 lbs across the board!!!!!!!!. i also ran it as i do once a month. also went perfectly......

Thanks, Rob. I'll call tonight to talk about the best time for a trip down.

Is this motor still available? I found a 71 Seafari O/B in CT that might just be the right boat for this motor...and within my $$$ reach...

Sold!!!!

Thanks, Rob. We got it back to gator country safe and sound. The Hewes we stopped off to look at on the way home was a bit of a disappointment. I'm glad the old tower of power wasn't.

It's going to hang from my gantry crane until I can throw together an engine stand. Our lovely spokesmodel had the day off, so Willie had to fill in.
