2000 210 CC console needed

[jeffelectric1]

My brother and I just bought a 2000 SeaPro 210CC. The boat had been capsized and the T-top and console was ripped out. Apart from fiberglass work needed on the deck, we want to find a SeaPro console for this boat model to keep it original. Anybody out there know of one? Thx! Jeff

Hey Jeff, welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard!
I can't help you with a replacement console, but I can tell you that I have the same boat and you are really going to enjoy it.

Good Luck,
Joe

Welcome aboard. A Sea Pro console might be hard to find. There's a good looking console listed locally on Craigslist but it ain't a Sea Pro.

Thx to everyone for the welcome and sharing pics of their SeaPros. This is our ugly boat. Can't wait until we get ours looking like the pics you sent!!

I have the same boat and love it. I can't help you with a console, but can take plenty of pics and get you whatever measurements you need if it will help.

Freezerfiller, thx! Once we start getting into the parts replacement, I am sure we will reach back out to you. I think my brother will be registering on this site soon, too. He got started on it yesterday by squeezing the boat into his garage, ha,ha!! (the other boat is my 19' Kencraft Challenger)

Just make sure it'll come out again when the console is on, would be funny to have it all back together and it won't fit through the door

Ha,ha! We want to convert the roller trailer into a drive-on by replacing the rollers w/carpeted bunks, then fabricating the vertical guides for the rear. This would drop the boat about 6" and he might be able to get it in-and-out of the garage that way. If we had the $, we would buy an aluminum "Float-On" trailer out of Ft. Pierce, FL. My friend from high school owns that business with his family and those are great trailers. I bought a new one back in the mid-90's for a Pro-Line 21' WA I used to own. This boat re-build will be a scavenger hunt for bargain items. Biggest problem we are going to have is finding that used factory console. I don't know if a good fiberglass guy could roughly duplicate one, but I know the factory used molds. Their website says not to bother calling for parts from older SeaPros, as the factory was sold in 2009 and the parts don't exist. Does anyone know more on this?

Thats right, the New sea Pro won't have any molds or parts for the old models, Jimmy Hancock and his brother Tommy owned Sea Pro before selling to the Brunswick group. Brunswick shut it down in 2009 and some of the molds were sold (bay boat molds are at Bulls Bay for example), what happened to the rest is any ones guess. The new Sea Pro was started a couple of years ago by one of the original owners Jimmy Hancock and preston Wrenn from Tidewater boats.

Phil, thx for the info'. Sounds like a dead-end calling the factory, unless I could get the the former/new owner on the phone, ha,ha.  I was hoping we could find the factory console, but after calling around some, it is probably a long shot. A custom-made replica would be too expensive, so we are going to have to measure the footprint and send pics of the factory console around to the liquidators. Freezerfiller said he has the same hull and would send measurements, so I am going to have to take him up on that favor. If anyone out there knows of some marine liquidators in their area, please send alopng their info' I have contacted 2, one in Ft. Pierce and 1 in the Tampa area (I'm originally from FL), and they said send pics and measurements for the closest match.

Jeff, I don't know if your livewell/storage hatch was damaged, but there's one on ebay that is fairly low priced.. www.ebay.com/itm/Sea-Pro-Sea-Boss-Bait-Live-Well-Fiberglass-Hatch-Cover-OEM/222780734481?hash=item33dec43c11:g:deoAAOSwZtlaIzoz

[jeffelectric1]

Thanks, Freezerfiller! Yes, the stern starboard (fishbox?) hatch lid is trashed. The portside livewell hatch is in good shape, but they appear to be the same. Waiting for my brother to send me the dimensions in the AM, but the hatch on EBay looks identical. If it is the one, we are buying immediately! Well appreciated! Jeff

(ps) We did find a used cowling for our '01 Yam 150 on CL out of Cape Coral, FL for $218 all-in delivered by UPS. It should arrive on Fri. Slowly, but surely, ha,ha!

[freezerfiller]

No problem. You mentioned that you were in FL, where are you located now?

[jeffelectric1]

Ends up the lid on eBay is the wrong size. We need one that is approx. 25" x 16". I have found a couple consoles, but for what the owners want for them, too much. Mainly because they all need work. We are probably going to go new. We did find a used cowling for our 2001 Yam 150 (TXRZ) that is in real good condition. Now we may need a powerhead, as when removing the plugs, seawater came out of one cylinder, but this was no surprise. The treasure hunt continues!

[jeffelectric1]

Just seeing this, as I'm trying to get this forum figured out, ha,ha! I live in the Atlanta area and my brother is in Hayesville, NC. The SeaPro will be his boat once we finish it. My 19' KenCraft in his garage, as my Yam 115 is having a carburetor issue and our family friend outboard mech is working on that.  Jeff

Jeff,.. any update on your project?
