Re: 23 CC Power Opinions
I really appreciate the forthright manner of your opinions. I am familar with having a "heavy" motor on the transom as I have '99 130 Honda on the back of '73 18' Forcast DC. The motor is set back and raised on a fixed jack plate for running the shallow water in Florida Bay. The boat sits a litte lower in the back but it is not as bad as I thought it would be. The splashwell keeps the water out of the cockpit during heavy backups. Also this is an inshore boat and does not have the hull for any seas over 1 foot.
As I mentioned earlier I am not totally sold on having that much weight on the transom on the Seacraft but the security of offshore running is desired. As much as I would like to enclose the transom and put on a bracket, it does not look like it is in the cards at this time.
Anyone know of 300hp Yamaha on the back of a 23 CC Seacraft?
