Seasport skipper 19 podding project

[ship happens]

Could extend that lip and make a single hatch cover for that entire opening. Be a tiny tripping Hazzard, however to retain that self bailing deck you might not have a choice if you want constant access. Since that deck isnt troffed. I would choose to hatch it if it were me.

You could always raise the floor a bit with rubber mats or somthing to lessen the lip for foot traffic

MRWood were you pulling your boat out of Nanoose today?

I pulled the boat yesterday (Wednesday) to the fiberglass shop. Finally got called in

The deck hatch covering is going to be troughed to allow the self bailing. Boat just went into the shop yesterday and they have started working on things today

Well it looks like we have run into some extra work. Port side of transom was wet along with port side stringers having rot.

At least it will be right now

That is true. It also gives me some different options on deck configurations and below deck storage. It’s good to stay positive

That sucks. Like I said you find this stuff out as you go along.

 

[lemmy]

Sounds good to me. My cruise sweet spot used to be around 25-26mph.
9gph with 60 gallon tank would be 6-7 hours runtime

As a reference , our family boat, 226 Grady with 225 Yamaha,burns 8 g/hr at 4200. 26 mph . 3 guys going fishing….

 

[Captain PartyMarty]

****** but good to find it now. Make sure you get lots of reinforcement put in between the deck and the transom!

 

[MRWood]

I am now looking for ideas on aft deck configurations and transom ideas. Lots of potential storage where motor once was and areas on port and starboard side stringer area.
The deck and stringers has some rot so are likely going to be stripped down further. Therefore I can basically do what I like with back deck area and transom. Any pics or ideas of what you have or would like would be greatly appreciated.

Black Friday

Great units

 

[MRWood]

I just bought the Uflex Protech 1.1 hydraulic steering system for my project.
Does anyone know how long of hydraulic hoses I would need for my 19’ Seasport. Harbour Chandler has 20’ but I had a quote on Seasrar system that was using 22’.

 

[salmonkiller01]

I would say 22’ then. Almost need to run a cable helm to outboard on bracket. That is one part you will need motor installed for unless just going to transom bulkhead fitting then 2 short hoses to outboard

 

[MRWood]

How long was your hosing on the 22’ Seasport.
I’ll worry about hosing length other than today. Sill have ages before motor goes on.

 

[salmonkiller01]

I can not remember to tell the truth. I used Seastar rigid hose helm to transom the a couple shorter hoses. You will need to get bracket installed to get your lengths

 

[MRWood]

Another great Black Friday deal. Hydraulic steering system on sale for $1200. Thanks for the heads up Mr Salmonkiller.

 

[Charter Tofino]

Good on you for tackling this project! A friend podded his 19 seaport and did the raised lip with hatch covers. Worked well but the troughed option will be slick! That will be a fun setup to fish from.

 

[MRWood]

Thanks. What size outboard did your friend have and did he like it.
