Your living the dream............

Great perspectives Denny, got me all McGiddycuddy on this one. Appearance changes a Seafari from a friendly gecko to a bad, mad falcon ready to tear into something. The reverse shear melded into the Seafari cuddy is boat porn on the Pininfarina level. WOW!, that is cool. Could've been the biggest splash at the Ft Lauderdale Boat Show. As I mentioned to Carla, I'd love to hear Mr Moesly's thoughts on this adaptation... P.S. Thanks for the connection on the cleats. Greatly appreciated.

Skip and Carla,
What a beautiful way to start the day, I might have to start drinking coffee!
That Seafari really brings out the Curtiss p 40 in the old girl. A Flying Tiger paint scheme?
Thanks for the caravan! Kept the little Sonoma in 3rd the whole way.
Good news, I think Janet wants to come to Long Point.

Congrats on the move, and that Seafari top looks just right on that boat. My cousin has lived in Marathon for 8+ years and I'm often envious. This past spring he moved from a canal house to a house directly on the Atlantic. We take 1 trip down each year and absolutely love it.

P.S. That's a sharp looking Vette you have. I like the color combo.

Carla, I can only dream :cool:

Lisa and I had a very memorable evening dinner in Key largo a coupe years ago when we went fishing in Key west with Joey. Congrats on the move.

Hi Carla,

Key Largo looks spectacular in the morning. I'm from Canada so the only thing I know about Key Largo is from a Beach Boys song. No actually I drove through about 15 years ago on the way to the southernmost point...I only remember sunsets though.lol Thank you for posting that pic. Now I know what a Key Largo sunrise looks like. I will be looking forward to seeing the updated pic one day with the 21' seafari walk around nestled in with those cruisers at the dock.

Regards,
Brandon

Re: New Home for 21'
 

I spoke with my Dad yesterday, letting him know about our acquisition of the Seafari top and leading him to this thread for pictures of it positioned on the 21. He is pondering the thought.
BEFORE SEEING THE PICTURES, his comment was it would need some structural engineering to ensure the cabin was secure to the hull, since we did not get any part of the forward deck or cap, no 2" flange for tying the two pieces together.
He has known of sailboats, that once the gunwale went under water on a heel, the cabin was sheered off!
Now I'm waiting his comments AFTER seeing the pictures.

Skip & I have been coming to the keys frequently and would regret it each time we'd have to leave. Now we're down here for good and loving it!

Congratulations on the move Carla. Also that is one sweet looking Corvette, what year is it? :cool:

Re: New Home for 21'
 

Hi Steve,
The vette is a 1975, purchased new, has 78k miles on her.
When the rubber bumpers rotted & fell off, Skip replaced with 1980 style fiberglass ones & faired them into the body.
I guess we like "classic" things.
Next time you go to the Bahamas, head south a little so you can come by for a visit! http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j1...SideFront2.jpg

Re: New Home for 21'
 

Thanks, I would love to stop by; I've never been to the Keys. I had a 75 vette at one time, my dad had given it to me and it was a basket case. I finally gave up on it and sold it for a little of nothing.
