18' seacraft wanted

[Snookerd]

BEN-
They keep it at the dock north of Perry Submarine. He has to clear their security gate to get in and he parks in their lot. I can't believe that the place was a mobile home park on the water around 10 yrs ago. By the way, the west coast caught about 10 hours of rain today!? What boat are you working on at the Pelican Pier? I might start to build an ARK to handle the flooding that is soon to occur here from all the rain!

snookerd - its been raining on and off, which is very annoying, cause right when i go to work on the boat, its starts to pour again, im gonna try to get a few hours in today, what other boat would i be working on? my SEACRAFT (20' cuddy) of course!, its right out front, very very impossible to miss if you drive by there.

Yo Snookerd,

Right know I'm running a s/s 14x20 that was repitched by Bobby Soles, a long time local shop in West Palm. After Ben spotted me on the 4th I wound up with 7 adults in the boat with a full cooler under the rocket launcher, heading down the Intracoastal to watch the fireworks.

It took a little longer to get out of the hole, but once up on plane it rode like a thirty footer!!! With just me and the dog I can get her going right at 44mph on the GPS in flat water. My dealer didn't haver an aluminum 14x21 in the shop, and the whole thing has been so sweet I haven't pursued it any further.

Haven't Really clocked fuel consumption either, other than it seems like a real miser. I'm hard pressed to get more than $20 worth of gas in it after running around all day...yay!

Hey to you too Ben,

I wouldn't be adverse to taking you out to get a line wet sometime...help you keep that SeCraft dream alive and all that. I have some wacky stuff going on in my life right now...looks like I may be transferred overseas soon (I'm keeping the boat!), my daughter's getting married, etc., etc., so I'll keep you posted on when it could work out. Looks like the weather is ever so slightly improving...hope I didn't jinx it!

Ben-I will keep you posted on the next time I get over there(could be the end of Aug.)I use the 1987 CSY 18' when I'm there. I need to check out your work on your boat over there. I am in Bradenton, the southern edge of Tampa Bay. It's about 3 1/2 hours away via state road 70. A year is a long time with your boat out of the water! What's your email?

Bmaj-Felt like a 30 footer? I'll have to use that one on the next go-round. Your motor sounds like a winner, thanks for the update. If you are around the end of next month let's get together with Ben.
