1967 Seacraft Bowrider 19' For Sale

[philfish]

Hey Folks,

I bought my 19' bowrider about four years ago. I do have the title, original HIN tags off the hull and it's hull #444. For those who are less familiar, this is an original Carl Moesly (the great fellow that started Seacraft back in the early sixties).

I purchased this boat with no engine or trailer and will be selling it the same way. I bought this boat as resto project and started by de-waxing it the best I could and then sanded the cap, hull etc... The transom was set up for an OMC I/O which I had no intentions of using. I removed the transom which was an extra pain because the wood was still good (amazing). The floor is solid as rock and doesn't need to be messed with, aside from some sanding and paint.

I know that the members on this site are very technical so let me describe how the transom was removed: I started by removing the last 16" of the cap which was riveted to the top of transom. Then about 14" of the deck had to come up, leaving about 6" of stringer sticking out so you can tie back in. Then the fun part. I trimmed a saw blade to approx the width of the transom, leaving it short of the outer shell, thus not compromising the integrity of the hull. I cut every little piece out, ground off all the old glue and it's now ready to drop in your favorite material.

I still have the aluminum tank, bowrail, windshield, original cleats, I/O cover and a few other small things. I have the boat listed locally for $3000. I'm open to offers. PM me or just reply to the thread. Simply put, I just bought a new house and want the boat out of my garage so I can tackle the 100 plus other projects I have going on right now.

I'll post some more recent pictures shortly. The transom has been cleaned up much more than what you see here. All the glue and wood is removed, the hull has more prep work done to it. I started filling in the few voids that were in the hull (just small scratches etc..).

Thanks for looking.

I almost forgot. The boat is located in Shrewsbury, MA 10604. And sorry, I won't take an express mail money order and deliver the boat to a container in Newark!
