My 1970 Seacraft 20cc is Finally Finished

This project has been a year in the making I started with a 1970 C/C Inboard outboard 140hp. Replaced transom and enclosed outdrive hole, modified the old engine area making another seat. Built a fiberglass flotation bracket, some new paint, a Stryker TTop ,built a new leaning post and modified the center console. Painted it platinum grey, with black bottom paint. Found a 91 Yamaha 225 for 1,000 bucks I know it's more engine than I need but the price was right. And topped it off with Some Taco Outriggers and a Cannon Downriggers and a set of 12x12 trim tabs and now I'm ready to Slay some Fish!!!

That's how I ended up with a 225 on my 20', price was right. I am in the process of re-rigging with a lighter 2.5 block now to help balance a little but it didn't do bad with the 445 lb 3.0, well not until I hit 63 anyway. Enjoy and run her hard.

Thanks, Guys ...I did move the c/c and fuel tank forward about 6 inches that and with the weight of the top I hope it helps balance some. I think I'm going to move the batteries forward as well. I'm Headed to Florida the end of July Can't wait. It really does fly with the 225, comes out of the water and onto plant almost instantly.
