New owner of a 263 Chase.

[Colliw11]

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 go with the console would be appreciated.

Also anything under the floor i should be looking to replace that has a history of going bad? thru hulls, hoses, wiring etc?

Excited to be part of the Grady family and looking forward to turning her into a fishing machine.

I have a 2002 273 Chase...I would check all wiring in the console and shore it up...I replaced the fuse panel with a better one. Grady wiring is really awful frankly. Check sending tank sending unit under the access port...they corrode if you do not check them regularly and clean...I am a huge had of white lithium...replace water separators and those items.....Thru hulls are generally ok since they are good ones...
