Crusader 350 Repower - 1976 23 Seacraft SF Inboard

[John3325]

Forgot to take some pictures but the engine/drivetrain is all in. Only current issue is console clearance and making the exhaust fit.

There were concerns for exhaust flow with the current muffler, so it was taken out and two dual long pipe exhaust baffles are being installed with custom brackets through dual exhaust ports - should have a nice rumble to it now and nice throaty sound when underway.

4 inch extensions were put on the risers, since the water line was pretty close to the level of the risers from factory. With the risers, we are having clearance issues with the console and shelf so more customizing is needed. Possible the whole console will have to be raised but that's a last resort.

Next time I am at it I'll snag some pictures of the install.

For anyone considering, Scalisi Marine in Weymouth, MA has done an exceptional job with this tough install and I highly recommend to anyone looking to repower one of these classic hulls.
