Jumping in with Both Feet on a 20 Seafari

Actually, Sparehead - I am not sure about the bolt locations myself. They may or may not be accessible under the splashwell. I will not be mounting the motor, a local Evinrude dealer will be, and I really won't have that answer until later in the spring. I will try to take photos of whatever we do and post them at that time to give you an idea.
As to the sticker, I had a new sticker made up at https://www.garzonstudio.com/boat/capacity-decal.html

I cannot tell you what to do regarding the max HP but I believe Fr. Frank can help you with a formula for that.
Good Luck with your project, and post some photos!

The weather this weekend is wild - we had over 60 degrees today, and the same is forecast for tomorrow, so what to do? Some painting. Finally got the last of the primer on the hull covered up by 2 coats of Pettit Black.

With that we can now proceed to the bulkheads. Here is the transom finished (except for the rubrail).

She looks fantastic! Congrats on the good weather.

I took advantage of today's 65 degrees to rip out the indoor outdoor carpeting in the cockpit rod holder shelves. then I installed two new cup holders where there had been extra rod holders, and remoed the trim at the bulkheads to prep for installing bulkheads.

Then, since the weather was so nice my son and I laminated the fiberglass skin to the bulkheads in preparation for installation next week or so.

Great progress! Those bulkheads are going to look nice.
One question, though: Why is it warmer there than here? :-/

[SailorChlud]

Can't figure that out either - we set a record yesterday, by 4 degrees!

Today the bulkheads were installed. Seems to be getting closer to splashing all the time.
