23' SF Inboard Re-power

Here are some pics of my new 23' CC Inboard. We replaced a 235 hp Ford Gas with a 260 hp Volvo Deisel (much safer and more reliable). Hope you enjoy the pics and please feel free to comment on things I can do/should do. This is my first seacraft and first re-power, so anything is helpful.

Just put her in the water today for the rest of the season. Testing out how to post pics, I think I figured it out, finally. Will put more up soon. Got the t-top fabricated by Redman Marine in York, Maine just a few days ago. Excited to test her out since our re-power.

Some more pics. Before t-top and after. Will have some from in the water soon.

I am not an engine guy, but would expect that new Volvo diesel to perform nicely.

However, I do know that you could not have picked a better guy to fabricate your t-top. Noel Redman is not only a first class welder but he is an artist.....as well as an all around nice guy. In my opinion, he is one of the best marine fabricators in the Northeast.
