Default Re: Getting a '77 20' CC SeaCraft redone

If you're gonna hang a 250 4 stroke on a bracket, you better raise the floor about a foot. That 250 weighs about 580 lbs. I'm sure some others will give a more experienced opinion. Good luck!
Let's see . . . a 40% increase in motor weight, mounted 2.5' further aft, what could go wrong there?! Nothing like a little CG shift to make for interesting performance characteristics! Max speed of about 70, min planing speed of about 30! If you just make the boat about 3' longer and move the console to the bow, it might even work!
