Default Restoring 23' Classic
This past Spring I have been busy restoring my black 1998 23' SeaCraft Classic and she is really coming along! Repowered with twin 2013 Mercury 4-stroke 150s was the beginning, then the hull received a new paint job, currently all the cushions and leaning post are off for refinishing and the gelcoat is drying on the deck. More photos of Black Beauty to follow!

Have u run the SC with the twin Merc 4 strokes? Just curious how the performance is as I have seen them with twin Yammy 150s not Mercs though.
Love the black, keep coming back to look!

The Mercury's perform very well! I am very much a Merc man as I have 250 Verados on both my 26's and the 150 4-strokes on the 23'. I just switched over from the Optimax to 4-strokes this winter and so far they have been performing great.
