Re: 23 Seacraft inboard rebuild
One more thing... make sure you get that console attached really well and braced as it will have a lot of stress on it. Pay special attention to the way it will handle side-to-side loads since the front and back of the console are basically open and don't provide much strength. I've noticed a lot of flex and creaking on my inboard cc (25 whitewater) when drifting in slop with the t-top snapping back and forth.

Re: 23 Seacraft inboard rebuild
She has about a 29 kt cruise with a real-life load. Not sure about the fuel burn but it is pretty miserly.
We plan to do some work to the console including coring the sides, filling in the rear access and replacing the removable shelf with a structural shelf to stiffen the console. How was your console held down on the Whitewater?

Re: 23 Seacraft inboard rebuild
My Whitewater is a fishable work in progress right now. I'm getting ready to put a new console from Whitewater in it and hing the whole console/t-top like you are doing. Right now it has some other console the PO put in it with the t-top screwed to the deck. I will be fabricating some seriously beefy hinges and bolt the console to the deck with aluminum angle backing. I plan on having to remove a few bolts to tilt the console back since there is a big door in the front to do routine maintenance and checking fluids.
