EHHHHHH, I bought a Seacraft without a seatrial, test ride, or even actually seeing one in person, EVER, a couple years ago. :) :)

After reading and looking at the brocures etc. The reputation works for me. :D If i dont like it their demand is such that it wouldn't be to hard to get rid of it. I have a Classic hull bug no doubt. I guess most people have a goal to have the perfect boat that fits their needs. I am going to get a ride in one in the spring hopefully. I'm going to ask him. He has a 23 either Tsunami or Sceptre I/O.

The "perfect boat" is a hard one to find, but, in small power boats, you ought to be able to find just the thing in a Seacraft. One of the big days in my life was when I discovered that Potter had made a few Seafari 25s. I'd owned a seafari 20 and knew how good they were, I just needed something a little bigger. The 25 was it. Found one within a year and then spent the next 2 or so talking the owner down to something half way reasonable. They seem to come up in batches, 2 or 3 in a year and then nothing for several more years. I've had mine two years, done several Bahama trips, lots of diving and camping and had it out in modestly rough conditions. It's perfect for me.

Name only. Around '73-74, SC had to change the name from Tsunami to Sceptre because there was already a boat company in FL with the same name.

Connor, you're TOO modest! What about THE 3-6'+ seas, 20-30 kt winds and busted seat pedestals on your second trip?! http://www.classicseacraft.com/commu...ad.php?t=22116 What about jumping 5' wakes at 24 knots?! http://www.classicseacraft.com/commu...d.php?t=22929?
BTW, did you ever make that trip to Hole in the Wall last fall? Denny

hiliner - you need to click on User CP, then Edit Options, then click the box under Messaging and Notification that says Enable Private Messaging. I got some sort of message you sent me yesterday but it disappeared and I was not able to reply to it. Denny

Oops
 

Sorry i guess my options were not set right, I believe i fixed them so i can get PMs I'll send out a couple moreer to see if i get any back. Thankyou Denny.

Bushwacker,

Well, if I wrote what I really think about rough water performance, nobody, except a 25 owner ,would believe me.

Last October was canceled. The weather turned to stink the day before we were to leave and stayed that way for a couple of months. Next year is coming fast.

I believe he said he was looking around in the New England area? There are lots of boats on the East Coast but very few in Mn or calif were I'm from. I too bought my first Seacraft without ever seeing one or riding in one because.... THERE WERE NONE TO LOOK AT! I had to go to Arizona for my first one. This guy lives in Seacraft heaven...he was looking at a 20 sceptre and now is talking about 23 sceptres and 25 seafari's which tells me he really should take a look at a few boats before he makes up is mind. :) The 25 Seafari is a heavy boat.

Highliner do you plan on towing this boat or keeping it in a slip? What kind of tow vehicle do you have? Where do you spend most of you time fishing...inshore or offshore? Are you really going to use the cuddy all the time? or would you rather have the extra room to fish? We are here to help you get your fix soon but I would rather you get the right fix for you.
