Well as you may have read I am now the owner of a 69 20' Sea Craft CC I/O, I didn't waste anytime got her tucked in the garage and have all but 2 cleats removed, console,fuel tank, and all of the hatches. Tomorrow night I will get at tearing down the motor to get it out, so I can get to work on the floors,transom. I have thoughts of a 4cyl diesel for a powerplant, new console, paint, etc. This boat is already bringing back memories my Dad had this exact same boat,year,I/O, and even color, I am hoping to keep it away from him until it is done. This is my first so I will have loads of questions and with any luck may participate in the 07 Sea Craft rendezvous

Tha Volvo D3-160 would be a great powerplant for this boat although the 190 would make her even faster! If you have the 18k I'd say go for it!

Want2 -
Might want to change your sig from "boatless" to "owner/refurbisher". Sounds like you have started a good project. The rewards are well worth the effort..
Good Luck.

you can pick up the 120hp merc/cummins diesel with outdrive for about 10k. Probably not going to light the world on fire with speed but you will burn 2-3 gph at cruise!!!!
