1973 23 project

Trial fit consal and leaning post: needed to trace both to coosa deck to cut wire chases in right spot and mark for fill and drain on live well etc.

Birdsall. Kids like to live bait and spearfish a lot so tried to build it toward that. Only issue people need to consider in the 23 footprint is that door opens up so u have to have decent space between consal and cooler/ coffin box so u give up deck space. I have a few more things to button up under deck this week so that I can start glassing in deck boards. Once there in itÂ’s hard to do anything more so get it all done. Other thing is make sure you can get to lower bracket bolts you will want to check torque after 10 hours and do require checks and main. Just so happens that the second bolt down on bracket lines up perfect with new deck so I will have to notch the deck on both bolts left/right to put nut on and tighten. ThatÂ’s the kind of stuff u want to deal with now

I see a lot of discussion on rubrail but can’t find any info info on the original black rubrail that came on 1973 seacraft. Any info on who may have it. It looks like the ridged will stay more strait on install.

I reused my old original black industrial rub rail but I think Taco has it new.

I like the original look but mine was changed to one with the stainless insert that looks nice but want to keep some of the old school look on this rebuild.
