Somebody told me those Crackers eat the tops out of the palm trees there in Cedar Key - very strange.

Don V : You are painfully correct, Froom what I can see, I don't think Florida is even a Southern State - it's a dang Caribbean State. I'm hooking the Hudson up to the 21' Moesly and heading south in May. Bert said "Not only do the gals not wear flannel bathing suits but in South Florida sometimes the forget half of 'em....!"

GFS : Was the Wayco Crimas Puerco de Jour Ok or did you have to turn to a Spiral Cut Publix???? Standing by.

Sandy, I have no idea what my name was. Iasked around about 7 years ago regarding best riding 20-23s and got directed here. Found what
i wanted to know and called it good. I just tried to sign on and got nowhere.

Somebody is shortening a SC 23 and adding a bracket... Can't exceed 26' in slip or something.

Haven't seen that thread here. Hope it works out for him I guess

Staying "ON TOPIC" (remember, I'm required to be watched by Snookerd due to my diminished capacity from all the cheap branded boats that caused minor cranial trama due to all the pounding before I owned my SeaCraft)
These are the kinds drastic measures one must take if they have not reserved a site at Long Point - cutting your boat down to fit....!

There are very few slips left at the Port Carla Marina (77) unless you want to stumble all the way from the Tiki Bar to the Tee Dock after a swig of Don V's elixir potion - "kissing everything in sight" and returning stuff you never even stole in the first place.

WH-A-A-A-T? Did Conner tell you about that 17' Wellcrack. He swore in blood he would never say a word.
Honest, it was one of those C. Raymond Hunt, Alem designs and It was Preetty...!
How was I to know the stringers had the same structural integrity as a Twix! (1" X 12" white pine glassed half way up!) It had a 3/4" plywood floor so it felt SOLID. Self bailing too. EXCEPT I couldn't figure out why it was so sluggish one afternoon, so I opened the bilge inspection port and the water was just below the deck. Jumped in the water with a tank on to see what was going on and there was a 2' long crack running lenghtwise down the hull mid-way between the keel and the chine. I about swallowed my regulator. Decide to "go for broke" and pulled the drain plug, climbed in and bent the throttles till they hit fiberglass and "9 holed it" for the beach, which wouldn't have been too bad except where we were we couldn't see land. Everybody climbed in the front and I spooled the twin Evinrude 50's up and we barely planed off. The water was going out the drain only slightly faster than it was coming in the crack. Finally we saw the Don Cesar, rolled through Pass-a grille "yodling"
and slid it up on the ramp at Gulfport. I had to change bathing suits on that one...!
All my smart St. Pete Underwater Club Brothers were running Sea Crafts, so I fixed the WellCrack, sold it and bought the Safari Conner and I dove out of in the 70's. So that's why I am the way I am.
Only thing scarier was that hammerhead that was the same lenght as a phosphate train on Riley's Hump, south of Fort Jefferson or the Cuban gunboats at the Pickle Banks north of Cayman Brac. Don't let Conner tell you otherwise, Scouts honor!

Ok, ok I resemble that comment......Speaking of missing....thanks for representing 442 this Fall

It was clear that CSC Gatherings 3.0 was fully rooted and 25 Seafaris and a 21 were leading the way. Maybe snookerd, nobones, capt chuck, 65bowrider and company can actually represent once again at the same time.
