Redo of a 20' 1985 CC
 

OK, so not really a Classic, but this gentleman had us redo his 1985, keeping it all original with a couple of updates.
- Fill in the transom, add a custom transom livewell and a Hermco bracket.
- New deck, with Coosa Board, remove in deck livewell.
- Redo the console and electronics cabinet.
- New wiring.
- New fuel tank.
- New electronics, Garmin, Fusion and Wet Sounds.
- New LED Lighting.
- Paint the engine, new graphics.
- New Rocket trailer.

So, where were we. Fuel tank test bad. Out she comes.
Start doing the custom transom livewell.

Sweet 20 ,I just bought a totally redone 20 also, but changed out 70 gallon with a 50 gallon cut 8 in. Off consol which I think was wrong ,steering wheel sits to low now. But my question is with the live well added did you add a bracket for engine? I dnt have trim tabs ,not sure I need them, boat plane s out with no stern drag...sits right up under throttle and planes at 2200. I run 150 mercury 4 stroke

what kind of performance numbers do you get with the Mercury 150. I am considering for a repower of my 1968 19'. Also, Parker, I love that livewell setup. Mine has one too, but not as nice. Is that a stock item you use on other boats, or a one-off.

Ole,

How big is that live well?

Sweet!

Looks to be approx 35-39 gals.
We did add a bracket.
Haven't seatrialed yet, redoing the carbs.

We have a mold for it now.

You concerned with putting all that weight back there with a bracket?

I don't think so.
It had an in deck livewell before just about a foot forward of this, plus we moved the batteries from the aft corners up to the console.
