Default Re: 1998 23 SEACRAFT BUILT BY SILVER KING

Thanks for getting in touch.

FYI- the plate and copy of the MA Reg shipped to you FEDEX second day yesterday.

I have a long relationship with the local OMC/BRP dealer, and a 150 E-Tec on my SC 20, but I have heard too many bad reviews of the bigger E-Tec engines to buy one. A 2011 Yamaha lightweight 250 HP V-8 four stroke is now on the transom - only about 15# more than the E-Tec.

Boat went into the shop for a bottom strip/barrier coat/ 5 coats & 2 colors of ablative AFP, then to the shop for the new motor. Now at the canvas shop for weather curtains and covers,then back to the motor shop for prop trials and shrinkwrap, then to my front yard for wiring/plumbing and general cleanup before a planned early May launch. It will have Simrad GPS, broadband radar/fishfinder, 12" display for my old eyes.

Did the two livewell/washdown pumps port/aft work last year, and did they get winterized? I have yet to put power to them...

Thanks,
BP
