Just acquired a 1979 23' cc... Was gonna bracket it with an etec.. Any thoughts or dos and donuts?? Do u want to remove the thru floor scuppers??

Welcome aboard! I'd suggest you consider the Hermco Bracket . . . all glass, so never any corrosion worries. Rig it like Don recommends, with all rigging going thru transom into flotation tub and then up thru swim platform . . . leaves a nice clean swim platform that's easy to walk across. Check out Capt. Chuck's rig for lots of clever ideas on how to set up a cc model. Also check out the E-TEC Owners group web site http://www.etecownersgroup.com/ for some great technical support and answers to any engine questions!

Thank you gentlemen. I'm thinking a 250 Etec with a 25" shaft...I was talked into digital today...still kind of unsure about the outboard fly by wire...Don, do you have any pics or info about your drainage?? Im always open to any tips for this being my first SeaCraft rebuild.
