The boat got a new 25 inch transome with extra gussets for support, a new fiberglass leaning post made by me out of a formica mold custome, I raised the console to be able to mount new chartplotters, new 60 gal tank , new 15 gal freshwater wash down,the front compartment on the console (seat) was turned into a cooler with 2 inch foam sheets,new Awlgrip inside out including in the hatches, new rub rail,basicaly all new except an old 1973 Seacraft and a 2001 trailer , and if you dont know its a pain in the !!! to put pictures up on the forum. I hope my pictures and ideas will inspire someone else to restore a Seacraft. Jose

Forgot, Im also haveing new light gray channel cushions made with a black welp around them for console backrest & seat leaning post and two seats by the engine if I ever find an engine at the right price, Thanks again for looking at my junk. Jose

Nice, looks like quite a productive six months. With that high console you will definitely be able to dodge any spray while flying through rough seas!! What power are you planning for her?

Its a split decision between merc. or yamaha 225 or 250 hp no less, not that i need to race its the fuel economy you get from big displacement outboards on little boats, I run engines about 3500 - 4000 rpms and I want a 40 mph cruise

Nice work! What are the awlgrip colors you used.

The colors on the boat are snow white, top and bottom, and whisper gray on the sides, with a jet black boot stripe all Awlgrip. The latches on the forward deck are 2 1/2 inch, I just reused the exsisting hatches on the forward deck , as far as the transome the only thing I did was cut the cap off, remove and replace wood re laminate and put it back together now at a 25 inch hight instead of 20 and put 4 big gussets to help strengthen transome on the inside in conclusion no other alteration was done to the back of the boat.Jose

The rub rail is a Taco metals rubber rub rail model V11-4014
1 5/8" tall with a 1/2" inch black rope insert.jose

Those twist latches keep your hatches from slamming up and down in the chops, and I think they even got them with locks, so if you leave your boat in the marina then thats the ticket.
