Re: new 23' 1975 owner- a few questions?
Fishman-
Welcome to the site. I have a 75 as well. Very solid boat. Mine has a 92 Yamaha 250. Cruise at 28-32mph 4400rpm and wot is about 44-45mph 5200 rpm. These numbers are off the top of my head as I've only had it out 5-6 times since it's restore. It has a fiberglass bracket 30 inch set back. The older seacrafts are heavier then the newer ones. Getting a survey is your best bet against getting a boat that has serious issues.
Take off the metal after you have enjoyed the boat for a while and see what is going on in there. As Otto said there should be no metal on the transom other then a bracket and motor. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
