Yea, Destin!

I think it was Wavelength that gave the input from his Coastguard days for our Gatherings to be central to I-4 around an hour north or south on either coast to get the best draw. I have waited 5 years to get a totally useable SC to bring to a gathering. I now have one once again.......finally

Maybe we just need to have a Panhandle gathering for those who don't want to drive 9 hours to St. Pete, or 13 hours to West Palm Beach. Just sayin'.

Maybe April 2?

I found an 18SF in Tallahassee and bought it Monday(nice way to find out if the tires and bearing are ok). It is identical to my other 18SF. I was looking for turn key and I found it, literally the Yamaha key switch is new along with a very clean Saltwater Series 130 Yamaha. 2 baitwells, older clean GPS, Fishfinder, and new VHF with new antennae. Nice alum trailer. Gas tank has been replaced. Deck needs a new nonskid, but no soft spots. I just did a shake down cruise today for 4 hours till 7:30 tonight and so far so good (caught a bonnethead shark near Briguys in Terra Ceia Bay). I almost went 3 days NOT owning a SeaCraft, what a nightmare!!

Not interested in Destin, although pretty, at a 9 hr drive I'll go the keys - just say'in

I'm with "The Dog", on this one!!

I'll be in the Keys for a few weeks again this summer, so a gathering here is convienient. I'm not opposed to putting her on wheels for a couple of days either. I'll watch from the sidelines and see how this shapes up. The only thing I know about Florida is it takes a while to get to the Keys. Exploring might be interesting - as long as there are fish.

Makes sense - just a point - the Dunedin site is easier for east coast guys to get to than Anclote due to I4 access even though Anclote is north no easy way to get there even for me, this would be due west of Tampa, Desoto adds another 30mi. Another nice aspect we found - its at the end of the channel to the bait shop - bathrooms - ice and fuel - like 5 minutes straight in and its WOT, so maybe less LOL.

Any east coast interest at all?? there or here?? boatpooling would make some sense too, if traveling, just bring 1 boat

I may be interested in going. I would be heading there from Stuart. I would love to get to meet all the Seacraft club before I sell my boat this summer...

Though I love the Seacraft I am working on a 27 Phoenix that will take its place for a while when it is put together.

I have never been to a gathering but I would love to go to one . I travel back and forth from palm beach to key largo . Peanut island would be cool. Scenery is usually good there on Sunday's .
