Went to pull the boat at the end of the season and found this crack below the trailer eye. It appears to just be the gelcoat, but what would cause a crack in the area other than trailering? is it a stress point for the boat flexing in rough seas? Boat is a 96 Chase.

Has anyone done a tackle insert into the leaning post for a 263 chase from like boat outfitter or DIY? The pull down door is nice that i can put multiple bags in there, but it ends up becoming a catch all. I'd like to put storage drawers and tackle bin holders instead.

I want to re-core the flooring on my 263 chase, but need to remove the leaning post to make the floor more mobile and able to be flipped. I unscrewed all of the exterior screws and broke the seal on the caulk, but it wont budge. Is it bonded somehow to the floor on the inside of the leaning...

Looking at re-power options for my 1996 263 Chase. The specs say its rated from 450 hp, but since the stern does not all the way to the motor well on the 96 version i wanted to know how it handles the increase in weight of the 4 stroke motors. It has 150 ocean pros on it now which would be...

Has anyone converted the rear port storage bin area into a livewell on a older Chase? It looks like it would be doable, but I'm not sure exactly how it would work or if its worth the hassle.

Looking at potential used motors for a repower of a 263 chase. I have a line on a pair of 140 Suzuki’s but I don’t know if they would be underpowered. I just bought the boat so don’t know 100 percent how it takes the power it’s got 150 ocean pros on it now. Any advice is helpful

I just got a new to me 97 chase and it seems like the area for bilge and battery access is a complete waste of space. Has anyone figured out a way to install an removable insert or something? Thoughts?

Hi. I just purchased a 1997 263 chase. It was in the water when I bought it and just got it onto a trailer and back home. Ther are little to no stress cracks anywhere on the boat, but in the stern I noticed these small cracks in the fell coat on each side by the run rail and the starboard rear...

Just purchased a 263 Chase.. the boat is in good shape, but certainly needs upgrades such as electronics and potentially repowering the twin evinrudes, but i will probably run it for a season to make sure i like the hull before spending that $$. Any suggestions on electronics configurations to...
