Interesting Inboard no more
Check this out:
Funky Inboard Has anyone ever seen an inboard with this tunnel for the prop? Looks like it was a conversion. The funny thing is that the guy wants to switch it back to OB. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Interesting Inboard no more
I've never seen a SeaCraft tunnel like that before. Looks like it would work better then the rounded one they used. I would think that it would allow more water over the wheel. Why make it an outboard? I don't understand that either. But that dude Spidercrab wants to make his a flat bottom.. go figure...

Ummm- I dont know about that- the guy lives in suffolk not to far from here. It looks to me like it was originally an inboard (just guessing ) and then the tunnell modified after the fact. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Re: Interesting Inboard no more
I saw a 23 CC with an inboard tunnel like that over 20 years ago. The boat was an '81 and had a 160 hp. Lehman diesel inboard under the console, which the owner claimed was factory installed on a special order.
It was a pig for performance. Slow to plane, and a top speed of about 28 mph. On the other hand, at something like 2300 rpms and 25 miles per hour, he claimed it only burned 3 to 3 1/2 gph. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] It had Bennett trim tabs that were each about 1/3 the width of the hull, or about 3 ft wide by about 10 inches deep. Huge fuel capacity, too. I'm not sure, but I think it was like 170 gallons. There was no below-deck livewell. We had it in dry-storage at the marina where I worked. We were SeaCraft dealers.

Re: Interesting Inboard no more
I have never seen a SeaCraft like that. It seems really weird, and not well done. But thats just my 2 cents.
