    Coaster 23 by Lovett/Chudley

    Here is an updated photo of the Coaster 23. Willy; the polyflex mounts are fine, now I just run at certain rpms and is very smooth. My vibration issue was due to barnacles on prop.

    I am working on a project Coaster 23 which suffered years of neglect. She survived the ordeal and I am bringing her back to her former glory (on a budget). Due to the lack of info on these old boats, I decided to make a website sharing some of my photos and projects to hopefully help others...
