20' Seafari: The Resurrection

Don't know about your boat, but the vent scoops on mine are Marinium, which means that they can be easily polished on a buffing wheel and then clear coated. What you've installed will probably work out west because you get so little rain, but if your original vent scoops were Marinium they're worth keeping as they can be easily cleaned up.

Yes, I'm sad to report they were severely dented and mistreated.
I saved them just in case but I think they're beyond help. :-(

Nice work Dogbomb. Looks great! Good luck with the splash.

I don't know for sure, however the white dog looked up to the part of driver!! Ditto on above post!

Looks great! If you like it in smooth water you'll like it in chop too.

I like that prop on the hatch. Need to get me one of those.

I replaced the original (Perko?) hatch supports with these SS supports which eliminate the knob that sticks out . . . the hatch is relatively narrow anyway, so eliminating the knob is a big deal!

Tony, congrats on the successful shakedown run! Boat looks great! You need to teach those dogs to drive so you can check AV plate height! I think it should be at least 3/4 to 1.5" above keel. Those Zukes may need to run a bit lower than most due to their large diameter props. It does sound like you're running too much pitch, but need to get height correct first, as raising motor may increase rpm. When you do start prop testing, it's important to test with bimini top up and max load you expect to run, so consider using some water ballast if necessary.

He had one too many beers to safely operate a motor vessel.
Plus, no thumbs...
