Default Re: Floor Repair on 71 20' Seafari

On the motor question, I also have a 20' Seafari, '73, with a 115 OB, an older Johnson 2 stroke, - it performs fine, hitting 30+ mph on gps. I do think the 90 would be underpowered, though. It would get on plane with just 1 or 2 people, but put a family on it, with a full tank of gas, or try to tow a watertoy, and you'd be straining.

On the floor - don't do a bandaid approach, patching on top - cut out that section of floor, top skin, replace the core with marine plywood bonded in, and reglass the top skin back on - not really a difficult job - just sounds daunting if you haven't done this stuff before - but you did say you had already done the transom ??

As they say - pix most welcome - and welcome to a great web-site !!
