Actually at my house now...

That is one good lookin boat there John, sitting right next to the Little Tykes playset there. Wait till the kids find out they can climb on that T-Top!!!!

Seriously, nice boat! Now, I can see ya sitting out there at the helm later sipping a few beers and imagining..... Hang a few poles out and pretend, let the neighborhood kids grab a few lines and run with them to make it even more realistic....

Then, when you are done with that, then comes the blood and sweat....

Enjoy and congradulations!!

... so I can drool to my heart's content after a roundabout trip from the boat yard - thanks again Trayder! Again, this was bought well before I got laid off so I can't return it - sorry honey. But it is finally here in the yard, my new (to me) 79 23 foot SeaCraft center console:

John,

Way to go, I know how that feels, I bought mine in December and spent more cold afternoons looking at things and wondering how i was going to improve upon them. My wife became thoroughly convinced that i was developing a mental illness. I think it may be called seacraft-aphrenia or something like that... Although I named her the Melissa Ann, after my wife and best fishing partner, she is now referred to lovingly as the Mistress, as I spend an obscene amount of time with her and thinking about being with her!!!

I wish you many happy days with your new SC!

Thanks guys!

No wax [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] - just 1500 miles of road grime .... I'm checking out the electrical now. Did you find any schematics on yours? Or lay it out on the floor and reverse engineer / fresh engineer?

Hey John , I just fresh engineered it. Drew up my own schematic and revised it a couple of times.That helps a lot,because it really helps you to see where you will need additional groundlugs and then I had to modify here and there. But at least you have a plan [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
