Default Re: Spring Project(s) 74 20SF

She sits a little lower than the other 20's I've seen on here, but she is still self bailing (original deck) with 2 people + gas (haven't ran with more than that without the plugs in the scuppers before). The port scupper has a very slow leak so part of this spring refit I'm replacing the thru-hull scuppers with transom draining ping pong ball style ones.

The DF175 is only 54lbs heavier than the DF140 that seems to be the go to engine for the 20 here on CSC. When I installed the engine I pushed my gas tank as far forward as it would go, moved the console forward 3" and moved the batteries from the stern to the front of the console.

She runs great with that engine, like a bat outta hell. No chine walking or porpoising at all. I bought tabs for her last fall from csc member josh_wellfleet but have yet to put them on because I really don't need them, but am going to install them before the summer since they will give me a lower planing speed along with various other improvements.
