Mine doesn't have the tunnel. I was a little disappointed in the performance with the 454. Seacraft makes a fairly heavy hull to start with so the extra weight of a big block doesn't help. I think...

Re: 1976 23 Inboard

If you can find industrial imron it covers and sticks well. It has about 2x the solids as the auto/marine imron. Plus it's brushable. It's a 2-part poly. With that prop size are you running a 1.5...

Re: stringer problem

Hayden, I have a 23' Seacraft so I am not familiar with your particular boat but you may want to look at the stringers a little closer before you start cutting the deck out. You need to try to...
