1979 23SF Twin 225's

Danny,

Congrats!! The boat looks great!

I used those same plugs my old 3" scuppers before I moved the drains outboard and added Rabuds. I still keep a set onboard in case I have a problem with the Rabuds.

Now work out those last few bugs, and get out there and use it!!

Thanks Lloyd. My deck was raised I believe as well. I have the Grand Canyon under the deck where the shaft and running gear was. Also, with the saddle tanks, almost the whole rear deck is removable for access.

My deck was raised I believe as well

Nice work Danny!!

I'm not sure about the inboards but in general the 23's did not need floor raising as the wet feet symdrom was not an issue.
Go out and measure from the floor(bottom of the gutter)up to under the gunnel touching the bottom of the cap (where the recessed rail is). Take the measurement just aft of the fuel line race. Since my floor is original, I will do the same on my mine and we can compare. Mine is (27 1/2")

Wouldn't the gutter bottom be in the same place if the floor was raised or not??

Chuck-I don't have a fuel line in the gunnel cap. I will take a picture. I have encapsulated wood strips on top of each stringer???

Danny- Wow! With twin motors and jack plates and she still sitts awfully nice in the water. That ass end is barely under the waterline. I love it now that the T-top is gone. I'm with Trayder, I love'em with a clean, low profile. Makes'em look even faster than they already are. That's the way mine was.
I saw a 20 for sale a while back in SC and it was named Sea'Ya Craft. You oughta seriously consider naming this rocket ship that

Andrew-Thanks for the comments. I was happy to see that water line as well. I may make a new windshield and just go with the bimini. I just had Russ on 9th St, make me a huge cushion for $100 that goes on the extended casting deck. I am fired up to get some use out of her.

Snookered-

The boat looks really slick. Appears to sit nicely in the water as well. I think I need a pair of those engines for a 25 Seafari Congrats and thanks for sharing your pics with us.

Thanks Strick for the comments. I am waiting to get her back from the shop. It rides a bit different than my old 18SF! I'm looking forward to your 25 pictures!
