Oops...got confused...boat is a 1974:rolleyes:

I was finally able to take the Tsunami out today..I did not have anyone at the dock to take any pictures of the boat in the water. I did have plenty of Coors Light though...it was an awesome ride!!!!!!
Attached pictures of the boat including boat name...named after my son...he picked out the font!!!
Trailer will need new bunks and adjustment.
I ran 38 MPH at 5000 rpm with 1990 looper 225....think I will change props to 17 pitch...currently running 19 pitch..
some pictures.
Top is from Kenny

Looks great, Fred. Looks like a keeper ;)

Looking good Fred! Nice bench seat. I have a 15 pitch prop. on my 96 225.

Very sweet Fred!!! Hate to be a pain, but you are going to need more than a bunk adjustment!! Looks like a new, full size trailer is in your future!! Good luck!!!

Nice boat Fred! Lots of room for the Family in that one. I'm gonna hire you as my broker when I'm ready for my next Seacraft...I'll give you a 10% finders fee!!

Nice boat. Is a 1976 a Tsunami or a Sceptre? Nice big bench seat, is that OEM?

Agree on the trailer situation.

McGillicuddy 05-19-2013 01:15 AM

When you find your new trailer let me know... that one will be nice for my Seafari. Where do you guys find such clean trailers... You wouldn't believe the $#!+ you find in SD:eek:

fdheld34 05-19-2013 05:57 PM

Guys..I was hoping I could make the trailer work but alas I will have to replace it down the road...good for now ..only trailer it approx 4 miles to ramp
Gillie ...I purchased this trailer from a friend of mine who put his 22 Seaswirl in dry storage...he cut the bunks due to his trim tabs!!
Jim...seating is all stock factory option I believe...usually the back to back seats would be placed on port side...oops..The boat is a 1974 not a 1976...glove box states Tsunami...who knows?....still debating on type of cuddy door from you..

Definitely looks great. If you are looking for a new trailer the best Priceline could find in tampa was Peterson trailer.

fdheld34 05-19-2013 10:20 PM

Thanks for heads up on trailer place!

Hey Fred, Jason Peterson has built my last two trailers. My SeaCraft trailer is 7 years old and just for the heck of it I replaced the springs a month or so ago. Did not really need it, just felt better cause I pull it long distances. He does not build trailers with springs anymore, torsion axles only and he uses SS bolts. When the time comes he's a really good option, I live close to his shop so if you need some help let me know. Seeya

fdheld34 05-20-2013 09:18 AM

Thanks Don..will drop you a pm when the time comes
Peterson it is down the road

Nice rig Fred! Should be a good family boat you can use all the time instead of working on it!

SeaCraft hulls are thankfully stiff as hell because of the big glass stringers and heavy layup, but Don's right, supporting it like that is a good way to put a hook in the hull! Until you get a bigger trailer, I'd make sure the motor weight is resting on the skeg; maybe even put some jack stands or wood blocks under the transom when not in use!

BTW, didn't you have a Scepter with twin I/O's? Did you trade it for this one? I can't keep up with all your boat trades! Denny

fdheld34 05-20-2013 02:30 PM

Hey Denny..
first 23' that I can actually use.
I will support motor...and use my jack stands...looking into a trailer now.
The 23 with twin i/o's was sold a while back
