SeaCraft Forward Cuddy
 

SeaCraft experts please help. Did SeaCraft ever make a forward cuddy CC similar to the BF 24? Any info would be appreciated.

23 Savage would be similar
(I'm assuming you are referring to the BlackFin 24 center console / cuddy??)

BTW .. Welcome to the site [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

23 Savage specs

Not to many of these boats available ... something like 35-40 made while B.Potter had the company (O/B and I/B)

Scott-

This boat specifically, looks like a Savage re-done?

Thats a tough call. Without seeing the HIN it's hard to tell if it's a Septre, Tsunami or a Savage.
The Savage is basiclly a Septre or Tsunami with the windshield removed and a center console added.

I've seen that boat before and it looks like a pretty sharp restoration regardless of the model.

As for the "Starman", someone must be listening to too much Bowie. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

That's a really nice looking boat. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: SeaCraft Forward Cuddy
 

Like Finny says ...The HIN would clear up its true ID

I also remember that boat ... Someone spent some time/money on that one...

There are some changes …like the glove boxes missing and the newer console as opposed to the original one
“Remodeled in 2005 hull and motor”
Maybe they did take a Sceptre and made it a Savage.

I believe the pictures below to be from an original Savage

That boat is identical to my Tsunami if you subtract the windshild and add a center console.

Scott,

Wasn't that boat for sale for quite a while in southern NJ?

Re: SeaCraft Forward Cuddy
 

Jason ...Thats what it is !!

Peter... Yes it was for sale in NJ

Re: SeaCraft Forward Cuddy
 

Thanks for the help guys. When I first saw the add I thought it was re-powered recently with twin HPDI's from the statement: "Remodeled in 2005 hull and motor". But the engines are 1986 models which for me would require a re-power now. I talked to the owner last night and he says the pictures don't reflect the true flawness condition of this boat. "If you find one flaw, I will take a $1000 off" was his exact words. Looks like a nice job but it puts me 15K over my plans with the re-power.

Re: SeaCraft Forward Cuddy
 

Patriot,
There is no way those engines are '86s. You might want to get the serial #s from the owner to confirm. The '80s vintage Yamahas were all gray with black lettering, and a squarer engine cover. The engines on this boat look like mid-'90s at the oldest.

Re: SeaCraft Forward Cuddy
 

Sorry, meant to say 1996. They are 1996 SW Series. As robust an engine as they have proven to be, they are still 9 years old which dampers my interest. Two 200 HPDIs or F-150's would set me back another 25K before it's over.

Sweet Lookin Ride!!!!!

Re: SeaCraft Forward Cuddy
 

Nice looking boat. I am thinking about taking a mid-80's sceptre and doing the same thing.
