Abl111,
It may be easier to run your t-ducer cable thru the stbd transom box then up along side the shift cables or hydraulic lines to the dash. Under the Starboard gunnel is a straight shot and...

Re: 23 cc 1978 project
Nice project,
looks like you have the motor covered. Fuel cell replacement or refurb is normal stuff. From the pics it looks like an above average boat that should provide you a good project with...

Re: refilling hyd. steering
Check to make sure the aluminum ears that bolt to the trim tube on the motor move up and down freely. Sometimes these corrode and bind as you tilt the motor. This causes the chrome bar to pull...

Re: That70sboat23
Hi Chuck,
Just been really busy and haven't had a lot of free time on the computer. Made the mistake of getting back into sales management. management = the end of any meaningful work or play.

Re: Any help welcomed (alien modifications?)
My best guess is that someone attempted their own steel motor mount. The round things with the bolts in them look like fluid filled in hull transducer mounts. Someone went thru a whole lotta trouble...

Re: 23 sceptre
It is common to fiberglass lead shot or lead pig into boats to compensate for a list to one side. This is the first I have heard of a Sceptre having any ballast added. I know some of the boats had a...

Re: Tracker is going to drop seacrafts
Seems like it would be a mistake to drop a brand that you own. Tracker and SeaCraft are owned by the same group. Johnny Morris and the Bass Pro Shops. However they are still holding 2005 and 2006...

Re: Florida Sea Craft Owners...Help

I think I talked to you about my old 23. The new owner wants a lot of money for it but it has a 3 yr old 4 stroke Yamaha on it and bottom paint. Might be a good boat for Bryan D if...

Re: new sea crafts?
I wouldn't be afraid of them. A boat is only as good as the dealer you buy it from though. I've had old ones and currently have a newer one. They have all had their fair share of problems but I'll...

Re: 23 Tsunami purchase

How's that boat coming? I gave up on my last Sceptre (20) at about 90% finished and sold it to someone up towards you. I recently bought a SeaCraft that wasn't as much of a project. 3rd...
