1988 seacraft rebuild

[No grave but the Seacraft]

Tonight I was able to drill and mount the engine. It is sitting about 1.5" above the mount with room to go 1 hole up if need be. And just as my brother predicted the tongue weight was a bit too light. I hate it when he's right. Rather than starting with the moving the axles rearward I removed the jack, which needed replacing anyways, and moved the winch post forward about 5 inches. It helped significantly so don't let anyone tell you 5 inches isn't enough. Doing so added about 80lbs to the tongue. Next, I plan to extend the tongue about 2 feet and add a swivel jack and double spare tire carrier. In the fading light you can really start to see the blue coming through in the paint.
