Hallmark Marine
 

does anyone know of this boat company and did they build seacraft hulls? I just purchased a boat 1975 21 ft which the owner states it is a seacraft but on the title it says hallmark. The boat looks like a seacraft but i dont know if it is. It sure is a nice looking boat. Thanks in advance for your response.

Post pictures. I doubt seriously that Hallmark had any thing
to do with SeaCraft. See ya, Ken

Re: Hallmark Marine
 

do you know anything about theese boats or manufacturer?
Thanks again. Ill post pics soon.

Re: Hallmark Marine
 

I have never heard of Hallmark boats. There are 560 boat
manufactures in the state of Florida alone. And Hallmark is not one of them. Someone on this site will know something
about them though. Just be patient. See ya, Ken

Re: Hallmark Marine
 

hallmark is a trailer company. I just had to fix a problem with one of my boats at DMV was reged the same as my trailer mfg not Searay. Could be the same?

Re: Hallmark Marine
 

Post the Hull ID number. That'll reveal the manufacturer.

Re: Hallmark Marine
 

Haulmark is a trailer company, not boat trailers though. I doubt it's the same as the boat company.

Re: Hallmark Marine
 

Definitely an SC knockoff. The cap and liner are different than a 20' SC. Nice looking boat though.

Re: Hallmark Marine
 

The cap and liner are about 1yr old when hull was rebuilt. The caps and liner on 20ft rebuilt hulls can be different.

Re: Hallmark Marine
 

No variable deadrise hull. It has some cosmetic similarities but design wise it does not measure up.

Re: Hallmark Marine
 

This is an Answer Craft knock-off. similar to the SeaCraft, but w/o the Variable Dead-rise Hull. The Florida Marine Patrol used 17', 20', and 21' Answer Craft CC for it's patrol boats from 1977 thru 1991.
The 20' is actually 19'8", weighed 1590 lbs dry, and was rated for a single 235 hp OB. We rigged several of them at my marina in the early 80's. Only one inner chine set, that beginns exactly like a SeaCraft, ie; no flat surface against the water, but transitions to a regular hard chine about halfway back. It gives you a nice soft ride trimmed down, but it can jar your teeth at speed.
By the way, the 20' Answer IS a knock-off of the 20' SeaCraft, albeit with the hull mods to avoid lawsuits while SC still had active patents.
