Lavey Craft 20.8 Sebring

97 Lavey Craft Sebring Modified V Tunnel Hull This is a refurbishing project that I am giving up on as I keep saying I will finish but don't.

I bought it with 10 hours on the boat and have loved owning it. It was in Hot Boat Magazine in Oct 97 (my boat not one like it). With Hot Boat test, it had a 415 HP with a 15-26" prop so it would be quick (0-50 in 9.43 sec. top speed was 75.8). After some engine mods and playing with props I got the top end to 85 MPH. Now it has 600 HP so I have no Idea what it will do but I am not the guy to find out - 85 was plenty fast.

Motor froze 4 years ago and it sat covered on the side of my home and I finally got it fixed. It now has a carbureted GM 540- Dynoed at 600 HP - Just rebuilt (after freezing the block) with a New 502 block stroked to a 540. I have all of the receipts of the parts and machine work rebuilt and dynoedbya LocalMachine shop. Some motor parts were from old motor like the exhaust, starter, power steering, etc. It has a newer Bravo outdrive with approx 30 hrs on it. Also has a Hydraulic hatch, Bimini top, Foot throttle and Tandem axle trailer. Have clean title and is registered with up to date Oregon tags.

New Carpet, but upholstery is shot. White Gelcoat is good, colored Gelcoat stripes on bottom side of boat are great but top side is very oxidized and needs repainting. This boat is a drivable project that you can fix up as you go. Sitting for 4 years was very hard on it. Even though it was covered it still took a beating from the sun going through the cover.I have seen this year boat recently listed at $35,000 in excellent condition. This one is about $6-8 grand from excellent condition. Motor and drive are worth $12,500 as they sit.
