I looked it up. No dice.
The Discharge Of Waste
All boats, including houseboats and floating cabins, equipped with a marine toilet must have a waste-water holding system to prevent the discharge of waste products into surrounding waters.

A marine toilet is considered to be any equipment for installation onboard a boat which is designed to receive, retain, treat or discharge sewage and any process to treat such sewage. A "porta-pottie" is not considered to be a marine toilet. This figure shows a typical marine sanitation device:

It is illegal for a boat to pump out sewage from a waste-water holding system or from a portable toilet or marine sanitation device into surrounding waters, except into an approved pump-out facility or into a sewer system located on dry land.

All boats equipped with a marine toilet must be registered with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. You will be issued a Marine Toilet Certificate decal which must be affixed to the hull adjacent to the boats registration number. The one-time certification fee is $5.00. No renewal of the certificate is required and it is transferable to any subsequent owner of the boat.

Doing a little stuff to the Seafari as I go along. The teak doors survived quite well. I have sanded and in the process of removing the screen and replacing it with new screen. The cabin hatches were plywood and some had rotted from sitting in the water so I have remade with African Mahogany. Baby steps.

Finally got a chance to spend some time with the Seafari today. Sadly will need a new transom. Looks like if I remove the cap on the rear I will have some room without having to cut into any of the interior rear wall. Will probably add some knee braces to the stringers for strength.

The Moesly models are easier to get to the transom from the inside than the latter hulls with the rear seating. A lot less cutting and also an easier refit.

Father’s Day gift for the boat. Of course I had to add some decals.

Just found another Seafari for sale. Owner says it’s a 1970. Serial number is 2042, four before mine. Waiting to see if he has any of the original paperwork with a production date.

Looking thru old posts on the site I came across a bowrider with back to back seats. Has anyone considered doing the back to back seating in a Seafari? Mine is an early model and has no seating in the rear on either side of the engine box. I found one manufacturer that can custom make the base any height so I wouldn't be stuck with a standard 10 in base. Seats flip up and have storage underneath. Thinking out loud and would love to hear your thoughts on those of you that have owned and used the seafari. Thanks
