1988 SeaCraft rebuild
So I splashed the boat yesterday and started the engine break in procedure. I still need to add the nonskid, bolt on a few hatches the leaning post and rubrail but overall I couldn't be happier with the way she turned out. The motor is sitting 1.5" above the mounting bracket and I will be adding trim tabs in the near future. I wound up with a 14x21 prop. My cruise speed was 24kts at 4500 rpm and could stay on plane around 13kts. Trim tabs should improve the planing speed. I haven't tried to open it up all the way yet but I will update you when I do.
