Time for another (1979 23' Resto)

[SeaPlusPlus]

It's been a little over 8 years since I redid my 1974 20' SF, which I think turned out pretty well:






The 20 has been fantastic (and still is), but after getting married, having two boys, and moving to South Carolina (Charleston area), I find myself in need of a larger boat. Naturally I started the search for a 23' SeaCraft.

Ended up making the drive to Boynton Beach, Fl this past weekend to pick up a 1979 23' Savage for a reasonable price. Current plans are for a complete teardown, raise stringers 2-3", new Nida-Core deck, enclosed transom (Coosa)/bracket, do something about this monstrous center console, and I may get excommunicated for it but remove the cabin and make it a normal CC.

First thing is some trailer work. Need to get this boat sitting correct, WAY too much tongue weight, bunks need to be extended back around 2' and boat moved back.





Looking forward to this rebuild!
