Default It's an Addiction: a sickness

Just decided to buy a 2nd SeaCraft with my wife's blessing.
1968 20' SF, with 1976 235 hp Evinrude, single axle trailer.

I first saw this boat sitting lonely under an industrial building cover in 2002. It hasn't moved an inch in the ensuing 13 years. I tried to buy it in 2009, but couldn't make arrangements to meet with the owner, who now lives in the Keys.
The boat is in Inglis, FL, almost next to Carl Moesly's old house. (It was a couple of houses away)

The above-deck fuel tank was pulled out from the console for replacing, and the boat has not been back in the water since then, and has not even been started since '99.


Here is a really eerie coincidence:
Back in October of '14, I bought a 20' Seafari from a man in Massachussetts.
The owner of this 20' SF HAS THE SAME FIRST AND LAST NAME as the man in Mass.

They are, however, no apparent relation.

I will probably flip this boat rather quickly....or maybe not. :-)

Jesus liked fishing, too. He even walked on water to get to the boat!
