Congratulations Alan!!

I missed this thread somehow....must have been lost in my own little world. The boat looks fabulous. I second the trim tab issuse. I'll never forget my trip out the Golden Gate with my boat. The boat handles flawless with correct trimming in a heavy chop... and it rides soooo smooth. The legend of the 23 SeaCraft lives on [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Enjoy

Thx guys. She is sweet. She rides great. I have a few things that I have to work on and she will be 'Just Right'.

Hey, I might even name her that !!! I have not been able to come up w/ a name I like and as I typed that sentence - there it was !!!

Cool.

I have promised full pix to Trayder, via a disc, to use as he wants for the site. I wish there was an easier way for all to see. I have detailed every step in terms of digital pix for my own sake and to help any who might want to take on a project like mine.

I always wanted to custom a boat for me, and I did. I'm deciding whether to put a full swim platform on or not, and I need to get a light, EZ to stow, ladder for the cuddy to get on and off the fore-deck for docking purposes.

By the middle of the season, I will tweak her to the way I want.

Thx again, guys !!!

alan

I had a yard do the repower. It is the one thing that I paid full price for; a certified Mercruiser guy w/ a great rep. I wanted it to be perfect w/ the warranty never an issue.

It's like anything else, if you know how to do it, it is not hard - it's a lot of rigging and making sure the drive is accurately lined up, etc. The actual 'putting the motor in' is as easy as chaining to a forklift and dropping it in.

I really like the set-up I have. She moves great and comes out of the hole like a dragster. I have nothing bad to say about the set-up at all.

Good luck
