1969 20 with Bracket

[JWilliams]

Thanks for the comments, yes boat is on Tampa Bay. Bracket was made by local company, C. L. Matson. They did the new gas tank too.

Shweeeet

Now J - nobody here will be done hounding you until you:

a) Give a complete step by step program (with pictures) on the rebuild

b) Measurements of the transom height, fuel numbers before and after, dimensions on the bracket, bouyancy of the bracket

c) And most important of all, how many beers were consumed at each step of the process and a seperate list of how many beers in the documentation of this project... Betcha think I'm kidding.

Oh yeh, and the brand of beer you were drinking

(OK, I'm kidding a little) Seriously, sweet boat! Sweet restore!

I really like that skinny console and t-top with the fat legs [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Nice to see someone put some thought and attention into a 20', very nice looking boat!

What have I gotten into? Are there really that many nuts about Sea Craft like me? NOW where you when I needed help with the grinding and sanding????

The only question I can answer now is "C" from JohnR and that answer is not enough and "D" is the cheap stuff 'cause I couldn't afford the good stuff with all I was spending! (wife guards the check book)

I will be getting together a progress "album" and some measurments requesed. In the meantime, thanks for the comments and I will get the rest soon.

Before your checkbook gets a Fort Knox lock on it from the wife you need some cool
'69 Classic Potter Built Hull ID stickers

I looked at the "Potter" sticker and liked the idea but dicided to go with a custom script logo that stayed in the color theme (I know too Gucci). Pic will follow.

I am not sure what the prop dimensions are. I will find out when I pull it to have it cupped.

Top speed was not as impressive as I had hoped. With my old 175 transome mount it pushed 54mph on the Lowrance GPS according to the water wheel. Now it only hits 45/46mph.
