Same way it would on top of your SUV :p

Go ahead, Captain Chuck - make fun of us northern guys!

The conditions here in the summer months in Maine are not always favorable. Lots of fog and on shore winds....which equals long, cold days on the water.

Until I figure out a way to spend winters in Stuart, while still being able to provide for my wife and my little buddy, I will be forced to grin and bear it up north.

Wow I like this one even better than the last, the lower profile makes it look more stream-lined. Looks Damn good! I will be looking for it next time I go up river...

nice job,I was thinking the mid to north west coast,or califorinia guys, that love classic Seacrafts, would love to die for one of these...Or any one who has to live north,and in the heavy seas...

Very cool, I like it!

Yeah, this 77' model looks perfect... in Hawaii, these guys nab every 23' SeaCraft they can get their hands on and modify them with a fly bridge conversion... I've seen quite a bit of them even cut the transom and stretch it to 26' and add a single diesel engine... they sell for about $60,000 once completed... absolutely the boat to have out there...

did the same guys make the hardtop once again? who made it?

I want one...

The same guys (Carolina Yachts in Beaufort NC) made it with the same mold, but the second one is one piece, with minimal coring, and a much less refined finish - all in an attempt to get the cost down. It's still too expensive to be marketable, in my opinion. (But then, it was worth it to me as I got exactly what I wanted.) The best I can figure, cost is comparable to a high quality aluminum frame/hard top with full curtain enclosure, but my glass will last indefinitely and plastic will need to be replaced. Also, my cabin has minimal air/water leakage- an advantage in cold or really wet conditions. An aluminum frame/hardtop/curtains would have an advantage for fishing with better visibility and the option to really open up the boat.
