I see. Thanks.

For better or worse, I now own this 23 SeaCraft along with a bracket that BigShrimpin apparently built (VERY nice bracket BTW).

The transom installed by Fat2Nawilly was also done very well but I suppose he lost interest in the project and moved on to a very nice inboard SeaCraft.

I've got the boat "flipped" in the yard now, all the bottom paint has been removed, 2 coats of epoxy (RAKA) was applied last week. I dug-out, then faired out some blisters. Applied some fairing compound over the entire running surface and getting ready to Awlgrip the bottom sometime later this week or next.

Good to know where the bracket originated!!

Got the boat flipped, all bottom paint removed, fixed some gouges and blisters, applied 3 coats of a penetrating epoxy resin to seal the gelcoat and applied 4 additional layers of biaxial to the bow area where some heavy knicks were located. Then applied 4 coats of Interlux 2000e. That is where she is now and as seen in the photos.

Later this week I will lightly sand and apply 2 coats of Awlgrip 545 primer and ready her for a topcoat spraying this weekend.

This after many, many sanding/fairing applications using a DA sander and 2 different longboards (I hate to see a "finished" boat and there are "waves" through the hull from being unproperly finished).
