jfk had class
 

Anyone see the Kennedy story in Ny Post today? I would never admit reading this rag but the wife noticed "the boat in the picture looks like yours". Got my attention away from boat trader online.. Full page color picture of JFK Jr and Bessette in his 20' classic seacraft. Looks like a late 70's or early 80's? I think I see vents on the sides, what years were those made?

Re: jfk had class
 

I have a 79 that has them.

Re: jfk had class
 

The 20' CCs - 1969 to the present.

Re: jfk had class
 

I saw it as well..did you notice the reg #'s on the flair..If i am not mistaken, wasn't that his fathers boat # during the war ??? that was a nice touch.

Re: jfk had class
 

JFKerry had a 23 Seacraft.... Sunk too I thunk I hear

Re: jfk had class
 

Even more on the JFK/Seacraft thing (hopefully I remember the story correctly)...
Chris Downey's 23 Sceptre was originally purchased by Jackie O. for John John, but when it was delivered to the dealer on Cape Cod, she didn't like the seat colors and passed on it [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]. Chris's father saw it for sale and decided to buy it. Twenty-five years later and it's still one sweet looking rig!

Re: jfk had class
 

I saw the jkf Jr. show last night and saw a seacraft classic I felt pretty happy that he enjoyed the ride of a SC.He could've had any boat in the world he picked a Classic. God bless him?

Re: jfk had class
 

Scott M is correct. That is the story that Chris' father told us. Supposedly, Jackie O did not like the original yellow seats.

Scott- How was the tackle show? Did I call to say I couldnt make it? I had a rough day on Saturday.

Hey Ed

How about buying a "SeaCraft Classic Potter Built HDS" for that Mako [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: jfk had class
 

It was pretty good, lots of stuff to buy. You know how it is! Umm, no I didn't hear from you on Saturday. Hopefully everything is okay.

BTW, I'm getting a "Potter" sticker from Chuck for the Seabird, so you'll need to get one for the Mako. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: jfk had class
 

I saw the newscast myself and immediatly picked up on the SC !!! Wife just rolled her eyes [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]. I cant believe they will just rake him through the mud when he/her cannot defend themselves, just a bunch of tabloid bs. I said to the wife like was already said that he could have any boat in the world and chose a sc, must say something abnout our boats !!!!! craig - with the chest puffed out and grabbing a bud !!!

Re: jfk had class
 

i remember that pic, it was in a bunch of magazines after they died. man she was hot...

Re: jfk had class
 

Jason- C'mon I know you have the pic of Carolyn standing on the Seacraft in her thong with JFK Jr. helping her put her shorts on....

Scott M- Glad to hear that the tackle show was fun. Sorry I flaked on calling. I've been stressed out with girlfriend issues and of course, getting a full-time job.

ClassicMako
 

Capt CHuck and Scott-

I need to create a Classic Mako- "Schwebke bilt" sticker. Robert Schwebke is the guy who was the majority owner of Mako before he sold off his stake in 1992/1993. Hence, that is the reason why I have owned (2) 1991 Mako's.

I am waiting for the day that used Schwebke Mako's command the same amount of money as used Potter Seacrafts!

Can I hold my breath that long???

Ed

Re: ClassicMako
 

I don't know, just doesn't have the same ring to it as Potter Built. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Back to John John...he may have chosen "only" a Seacraft for his boat, but you should see the house on Martha's Vineyard! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: jfk had class
 

Anyone have the picture of JFK JR. in his seacraft?

Re: jfk had class
 

I don't know what's going on but NONE of the pictures in this thread open up. :D

Re: jfk had class
 

This was posted when the forum was on another server. some of the pictures were lost during the move.

Re: jfk had class

Re: jfk had class

Re: jfk had class
 

I'll give you crap......do NOT make me get Spidercrap and tell him to get mid-evil on your arse [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: jfk had class

Re: jfk had class

Re: ClassicMako
 

"Schwebke bilt" We have had 3 Schwebke era makos 17,231,254 also a proud owner of 2 Potter SC's.. I grew up with the Schwebke kids here in Boca Raton. Great family, boats did take a turn for the worse after they were out of the picture.

Re: jfk had class
 

from that article

"The Boston Herald reported in 1996 on Kerry’s "a 200-horsepower SeaCraft powerboat valued at $20,000."

It actually had twin 200HP motors and quite a questionable history........

I do not think they have it any more but they do have a 27 Contender with twin 200+ engines. I have seen him a few times in Vineyard Sounds full tilt to the islands, he is not afraid to run the boat a full throttle.

Re: jfk had class
 

I have pulled more than a few thirty and forty pound stripers from under Kerry's Contender; it's moored just downtide of Brant Point, at the tail end of a great rip.

Thanks to the Heinz Family.

See ya, Ken

Re: jfk had class
 

I swiped it from this great web site during the original thread :) I have quite a few SeaCraft pictures in my library that I've pulled off the web. I should make a folder some day and put it up on my server.
