A few questions

[Finnatic]

Hello all it's been a while that I've posted anything and have a few questions. I have a project boat to do with my son. It's a 1972 206 CC. I've had the boat for 3 years now and have it completely striped down ready for the nasty work. I'm freeing up some time these days and want to remove the entire deck and transom. I want to raise the deck to make it self bail also want to raise the transom to accommodate the newer 25" shaft motors. Is 4 inches enough to raise the deck to install scuppers ? Also is 5 inches the amount needed to raise the transom, it's my understanding they ran motors with a 20 inch shaft back in the day. Thanks in advance.

72 should be 19' 6"

Raise deck 2 inches
Raise transom 5 inches

Case closed !

Good luck, have fun...

Thanks NoBones, I didn't thing 2" would be enough, I'm sure you guys know. Not sure about 19'6" the registration states 20'6" as did the last owner.

2" will probably be fine if you are powering with 140 HP or less 4 S or 150 HP or less 2 S. The 20' boats were designed for 75-115 HP 2 S's - they do fine with a 115. What motor are you planning to hang on it and what do you use the boat for? What is your typical load and your typical daily run?

5) 150 - 200 hp 4S
6) 225 - 300 hp 2S
7) 225 - 300 hp 4S
8) Twins - please specify________
9) 240 Bridgeport
10) Rolls-Merlin Go-Devil
11) Quad Bearcats
III. Typical Load / Windage -
1) Tee Top
2) Tee top with electronics box
3) Hardtop
4) Tower
5) Bikini tops - yes / no

I would like to power with a 150 4 stroke. I never had the boat in the water so can only guess at the water line from the old bottom paint line. I will use the boat in Long Island sound, these boats are great for the wash board conditions we frequently see. I run twin 150's on my 2360 I like to get to my fishing grounds asap weather permitting. It's my understanding this hull design was used when Sailfish boats came to be. My 2360 Sailfish hull looks very similar to my Sea Craft hull.

T-3 is very old and forgetful. I started taking Prevagen, you know the stuff made with jellyfish - Now all it think about is Plankton!!
My apologies T-1
Finnatic says he has a 20"-6', maybe it's really one of the of the last 21's. (Well, other than that one we know is in the basement of the CIA)

I think I see a vacation in SE Asia in your future.

Shipping containers full of contraband hulls.
