Re: Briguy's 1978 23' CC refit pix aka boat porn!
Ok here comes the pretty stuff. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
First a new SS rubrail. I would never ever ever ever put anything different on a 23 SC. It looks awesome! OHHH THAT CLASSIC SEACRAFT TRANSOM. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Pleanty of room for several fisherman to haul a couple big 'uns up onto the deck. I will be adding my leaning post as soon as I spray dye the vinyl. Added 3 new rodholders across the transom for trolling etc and two up on the bow for live baiting Tarpon or Sailfish. EVERY fly fisherman/woman needs pop up hardware. I went with 4 1/2 inch accon spring cleats as well as Accon hardware up front. One 10"(remember my "is 10 inches too big?" post? Well here I have one mounted along with Accon pop up chocks and a light. For those interested, I have one left over 10" cleat for sale. Everything in the business end of the boat looks neat and clean.

Here is a close up of the interior transom. Cockpit bolsters all the way around to be added in about a month.
They will be a synthetic core and be fashioned like a Boston Whaler---pleated and about 3" thick. Looking good when I picked it up. That sky blue Awlgrip went on like totally smooth. Ready to be splashed!!!! What good is living in Florida unless you live in a Mansion on the water? ( [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) Hopefully the little Volvo turbo motor can handle it.

Looks good! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] What hp our your motors? What kind of bracket, and who did the work for you? How did the twins perform? We should have our boat back anyday now. Cant wait to use the new HermCo bracket and see how the twin 150 Yamaha's will do. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Briguy,
The boat came out really nice! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Question - what are those holes on the inside of the transom? |

Re: Briguy's 1978 23' CC refit pix aka boat porn!
The "holes" you see in the transom are the washers that hold the bracket on. There are also a few under the deck.
The bracket was made by Mattson in St. Pete or Tampa. It was powercoated----something I would not go with again. Awlgrip is much tougher. I run twin 115hp Suzuki 4 strokes.

Re: Briguy's 1978 23' CC refit pix aka boat porn!
Anybody interested in the phone # of the guy that did the work PM me. 3 months in my book is a little on the slow side but I wasn't bugging them everyday either. They did excellent work and the 1 or 2 little flaws(very minor stuff and I'm super picky) I did find they fixed without hesitation.
PS I'm on the West Coast of Florida.
