Removable storage bins under the aft corner hatchs

kmirise · #1 05-17-2005, 05:29 PM

Sorry for the dumb questions, but I am new to the boat (and new to this genre of boats too, for that matter). Anyway, the removable bins under the aft corner hatches -- where can I find a replacement for one of those if mine is missing? Any ideas? Thanks.

I dont think that they are missing. I never had any either. You have 8" round plates on the bottom of the storage box correct?

You mentioned 8" round plates on the bottom of the storage box, but that's not what I have - or not in the place that I am thinking about.

I have identical access hatches in the port and starboard aft corners. They open straight down toward the bilge area and steering hoses, etc. On one side, I have a nice fitted bin, with wooden handles, that drops into the opening. It's about 11 x 11 x 10 or something. So I guess I could take that to a plastics shop and have a partner made for it, but I thought they might be available already made somewhere. Or maybe somebody has an extra they don't want?

Is this Chris or did you buy his boat?

Hi Scott - Answer is well...neither. I'm Kevin, and I bought the boat (SC23) from a guy named Brad. I think there are a couple of other SC in town, but I'm pretty new to the area. You keep yours in Marshfield?

Hi Kevin,
There's a guy named Chris in Norwell with a 23 Sceptre named Water Rat. He's a member of this site. Is your boat all tricked out with an arch, outriggers, etc., running a Merc 454 I/O?

If you keeps yours in Cohasset, Mark Rattenbury from this site has a white 23 Sceptre inboard in the harbor, plus there's a dark blue Sceptre there as well.

I recently moved to Marshfield from Hull. The SC in my avatar belongs to my father, who keeps the boat in Hingham.

Hi Scott -
No, didn't know about Scott or his boat name. Didn't intend to poach with the user name! I just love the Wind in the Willows reference. My boat is not named. I moved here a year and a half ago and just got the boat last fall. (Has twin Merc 150's, and does not have the arch, etc). I'd be happy to buy you a beer and talk boats sometime when you are up this way late afternoon or on a weekend.
Cheers.
Kevin

Kevin,
That's quite a coincidence with the boat names. On occasion I take 3A home from work, so we could grab a beer anytime. Was your boat recently at Bayside Boatworks at their new location on 3A? I thought I saw a 23 CC w/twin Mercs back in April.

Scott where abouts in Marshfield did you move? I launch out of green harbor every weekend. Are you bringing your boat to marshfield too?

BottomLine,
I'm on Church St, about a mile from the Bridgeway/Humarock. I have my boat with me, a 23' Seabird CC. Right now it's sitting in the driveway, which is where it will stay for this season at least. I'll either use the Green Harbor ramp or the South River ramp next to the MYC. The boat in my avatar is my dad's SC, which is docked in Hingham.

Maybe we can do some fishing? This area is new to me, having spent most of my time in the Boston Harbor area. I've fished CC Bay a few times with friends, but I don't know the area really well.
