Re: Downsize?
Your 23 I/O has got to be one of the nicest boats I've seen. My $.02 is that the extra weight/freeboard/length are HUGE assets over the 20 (I own a 20 SF I/O and tow w. a 4Runner w. no problems.) ...

Muddy,
I have the same setup - raised flange molded into the deck, horizontal screws to join the console to the flange. I am removing most of the deck and building in a 6' hatch for the fuel tank,...

Re: testing pics of project

Boat looks great, you've made some serious progress. Popping that liner off the I/O is no small feat!

Those are higher than mine, but I am using a 4-blade prop, which I believe is too much for that engine. I will likely try the 14x19 three-blade this spring, but the new console and re-wiring...

Keith,
Your welcome, sorry to hear about your brother, but that is a fitting tribute.
good luck w. the propping - it is a bit of a trial and error proposition getting it right.

Re: plug lining
Warthog,
Thanks for jarring my thick skull - the fix idea came from your excellent rebuild photos. Grey pvc is what I used also. Cabosiled and faired.
