Laundry List 20' 1976 Seacraft
 
I bought a 1976 SeaCraft in 2005.. 1999 Yamaha V-Max 200 hp. She moves pretty good!

I have already added a T-Top ('07), then I noticed the floors were "weak" in certain areas. Had the deck reinforced ('08). Changed out the aqua cushons for white- added cushons for the step up bow area. Then a new trailer..

I'm on to the next project and I'm looking for recommendations:
1. I want to enclose the transom
2. put a dive/ swim platform on the back
3. paint the deck
4. paint the hull
5. new center console- old one is cracking/ broken where its screwed into the deck..
6. leaning post/ cooler seat (center console is low - capt's chairs currently).

I was told the transom enclosure- they go straight up from where the current storage compartments are located now- that would make a very wide transom (about 2 feet). Normal? Any new ideas for the transom- live bait well...? fold down seat (like I've seen on contenders?)..

Any suggestions on ORDER of operations- don't think I can do all at once, so it will be done in pieces.

Suggestions would be apprecaited!

Thanks
BK

You need your photos hosted on sites like Photobucket or Snapfish, then you can post them. Search the photo section of this site for instructions on doing so.

You can pretty much build your boat any way you like to suit your particular needs..only issue may be weight in the transom

FAQ: "How do I add an image to my message?
In order to add an image to your message or your signature, you must have the image already available on a web server. This can be an image on your own personal web page, for example. To place an image within a message, simply use the following Markup Tag:

http://www.url_to_image.com/image_name.gif

For example, if you have an image called cateye.gif and its available from your own website at http://www.mywebsite.com/pics, then you would use the following image markup:

http://www.mywebsite.com/pics/cateye.gif

You can do the same for your signature. Click the My Home option found on any page. Then, under the Main Configuration heading, click on "Personal Information, email, password...". Look for the Signature box, and enter your desired information, including any images/markup as above.

Note: To keep the forums loading quickly for everyone, it is recommended that you do not exceed 35k for your image size. "

So I try and type [image] (and then cut and paste from snapfish- the address bar- and this is what I get

Might be the privacy settings in Snapfish?

Here's a slide show of what I did to mine. If you go with a bracket, I'd suggest you consider one of Don Herman's fiberglass brackets, which have the most flotation of any bracket made, and you won't have to worry about corrosion problems. Would also recommend using one of Don's rigging kits for a nice clean installation that keeps all the rigging below deck. If you run the rigging tube and hydraulic steering hoses straight across the swim platform into the transom like most folks do, it really clutters up the swim platform as well as the inside of the boat forward of the transom.
