Too good to be true?
Gentlemen,
Brian Miller was kind enough to post 2 ads he saw in Baltimore. One was listed a 71 19' cuddy I/O, trailer. I saw the post Thursday morning and was in Baltimore by Midnight after a 5 hr. drive. By 7:30 AM Friday, money changed hands and we were hooking up a 1971 20' SeaFari, 4 cyl. Merc I/O with "reconditioned" outdrive sitting in the cockpit. Almost unbelievably, this boat is an almost all original 71 with 153 hours! I mean, can that be right? The floor and deck feel solid, but the transome will need a complete replacement. It's a perfect project boat that might have a season or 2 left in her.      The trailer is the original 1971 dual axle trailer with very questionable rubber. But it actually rode very well for the 350 mile ride home. [ July 01, 2003, 11:01 AM: Message edited by: Otto Cuyler ]

I think we may have created a monster!
CSCA, Classis SeaCraft Anonomous will be meeting ever other Wednesday at 8pm. I think you may want to consider stopping by for a meeting or two. The boat looks very nice and quite original and classy. Congrats. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] Which one are you going to bring down to RI in Aug or can you tow them in tandem?

Looks like someone had a hard time deciding on a water line. Did the pup christen the tire?

Otto-
You're a riot! By years end you'll probably have 5 Seacrafts. Good luck with the new project. -Ed- PS - How did the paint job come out on the 23???
