Update on the build

Almost a year later and this classic SeaCraft just got a new 2019 Suzuki 175 fly by wire and is a little closer to seeing the water this summer.

I have a 99 23cc and the rating plate is 300 hp. It had twin Merc 150's from the factory on it when I got it, but it likes the single 300 4.2 liter Yamaha better.

tank capacity

My '99 cc has a 150 gal tank. As I understand it, if it came factory rigged with twins (mine came with twin 150's) it had the 150 gal tank. Factory rigged with a single was outfitted with a 135 gal.

Final numbers are in. I had 30 thousands added to the cup on the prop. It holds much better on the elevated settings on the jack plate but I don't see much difference in performance with the higher...

Update

After playing with a few props I settled on a Yamaha Saltwater Series 2 with SDS. 15 1/2" x 17p. With my configuration I needed more of a bow lift than a stern lift prop. Much better #'s than...

F300 on 23cc questions

I am getting ready to repower my 1999 23cc with a 2012 Yami F300. If anyone has this combination can you tell me what prop has given you the best numbers and the height you have the motor mounted?
