A few photos from the Flying Cloud, Atlantic City 9/19/04
Weather wasn’t the "nicest" ….But that didn’t matter ….These are SeaCraft’s ….They love this stuff !!!!
Despite the weather We Had A Blast !!!

PipeDream’s (Don) boat , Sheila B… Don’s on the boat, Joe R next then me ….Amazing for a boat that is almost 40 years old !!!

Hey who did your arch ?? [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Don had the Bling Bling lights on for the picture …. Still disappointed you didn't have the chirp chirp thing going …maybe next year




Joe R and the Susie II
Joe had a long, tough trip to the Cloud, looked like he even took a few over the bow [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]…
All kidding aside … Great looking boat Joe




Finster’s (Crocket) boat ….
She made it !!! Finster gets the award for the quickest resurrection of a Classic SeaCraft …. That boat was left in a yard by the prior owner to seemingly just fade away into SeaCraft history. That would have been real sad. As Chris has mentioned this is one of something like 20 SeaVettes that were ever manufactured .. Talk about a true classic.

The registration stickers indicate that the boat hadn’t seen water in years. I think two and a half days were spent pulling her together, including re-coring the fuel deck hatch!!! The engine, well it never ceased to amaze. Little was done in the way of servicing the engine... Real basic stuff yet it preformed incredibly well….I think at 3500rpm’s we were cruising along real nice at 28.5 mph with a full tank of gas….In real nasty tight chop. Of course the batteries went south when we tried to get a speed at WOT...GPS or not "We's was FLYING !!!!!"



I like Don’s suggestion for the boat name ….Handel It … Not even going there

Umm …. Where in the world was Otto ?? Don ...did you push him in the water???[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
