I just got a 23' Scottie Craft w/ cuddy cabin that sounds almost exactly like yours with the exception of the engine. Mine has an AQ170 gas engine in it with the 270 outdrive.
Right now I have the deck off (spongy, wood had rotted where seats were removed) and the fuel tank out. The engine is trashed, so I am looking for repower options. Do you have any suggestions or know of any forums? Right now I am looking at 4.3 liter V6's or possibly even a small V8. I believe that the engine box is large enough to hold it, but I am concerened about over doing it with such a large engine.
As for the tower you were talking about, do you have a sketch or can you elaborate on what you are trying to do? I would like to find a better alternative to the canvas top but I am not sure how to go about doing it. My background is mechanical, not body work, so this is a learning experience on the fiberglass for me.
Thanks!
