99 23' Seacraft CC Coast Guard Rating for HP

[Mudhen]

I have a 99 Seacraft center console model 23' . . . . having trouble finding the CC rating plate, anybody know what this model is rated for as far as HP ?

Look under specification on home page. Says 400 hp max.

Hey Michael, I'm with ya on the 400 hp, however I'm thinking that's for a Potter hull. Not too sure of a '99 23'ers rating, however that 400 hp is what I would show the insurance guys!!

Correct those are old numbers. The other way to do it is decided how much HP you want and have a new spec plate made. I would never advocate going above original specs unless--

a 300 4 stroke would be great....I have a brochure for that year at work, I will check it next week

Hopefully you can read this pic of a 1997 brochure with the 23 specs for that year. As you can see it doesn't actually say maximum hp anywhere. All the newer brochures from around 2003 and on all say max of 300 hp. As far as I know all the later model 23's were all rated for 300 HP .

bj ..thats one of the brochures I have...did you move up to the 25 SC or still have the 21

Still have the 21'. I have decided to keep it. Been a busy year and have had very little time to use it so at this point I am glad I didn't find a 25. Lol.

I have a 99 23cc and the rating plate is 300 hp. It had twin Merc 150's from the factory on it when I got it, but it likes the single 300 4.2 liter Yamaha better.

This from 10-14-2018. 23' with Yamaha 300, Hermco bracket.
