I suspect the powerpack is failing.


You can disconnect the boat harness plugs and jump the starter to eliminate the key switch, kill circuit and boat wiring while the issue is happening.

Beautiful rig. I think with the right set up it will be an ideal rig.

I would rather have 150hp with ideal set up vs 300hp not dialed in.

Single 150hp on 23ft Seacraft CC

I remember reading years ago a guy in Europe had a single 115hp on a 23 Seacraft that ran well with a light load.

The more that I read about the great results with the L4 150hp-200hp, the more I...

Another great point, it all depends on how you use your boat. Hauling 5 divers with full gear 20 miles offshore is a completely different need from my use. 200hp would be fine for my need but some...

Nice. Congrats. I would bet a new modern SS prop would give you 2-3mph and better fuel economy as well.

Awesome. With a 15 pitch or 13 pitch, I am sure she will break 30mph. It's all about set up. I see many people claiming their 23 Seacraft only tops out in the low 30s.
