OBP,
I hear ya on cuttin up a Seafari. But I need a CC, as it this will be a dedicated striper boat in CT.
When comparing options, paying $3-7k for CC with a clapped out motor that will most likely need a new transom, floor etc. anyway, I could pay a few hundred for a less popular model, take the boat down to basics, have the full transom cap and redo it to my specs. Hopefully its more muscle work than $$. Already lost a rachet under the motor
I agree, rebuilding the cap will be the hardest part.
If anyone needs parts for their 20 let me know
