That Seacraft Ride.
 

I have a 20'(still waiting for)and I was wondering how nice the ride really is. Dryness, Stability, Vibration, SPEED, etc.

I hear alot about the VDH, Variable Deadrise Hull, and I want to know what it's REALLY like.

Mine is a 1984 20' CenterConsole, with 2003 150 merc. How fast you thinking? :D

I have a 20SF and my father says the ride is very similiar to his freinds Bertram 20 from the 70's. Hope that helps.

Re: That Seacraft Ride.
 

Sorta, I dunno what a that rides lik, but i would think a Bertram rides NICE

this little boat amazes me each time it goes out. it beats my buddys 19 mako in the choppy stuff any day of the week. and keeps up with my brothers 21 mako.

Awsome i Cant wait!

Re: That Seacraft Ride.
 

Read the manual in the archives. It talks about quartering head seas . . . it's the only condition where you might feel a little jolt. Just like the manual says roll the boat downwind using trim tabs, so the V is into the waves. Just like butta' the hull is SO nice!!!

Careful, Finster may need a cold shower after all that sweet talk about our boats.......... :D

Re: That Seacraft Ride.
 

I have that manual too. :cool: And yes the pages are stuck together.... :D

Though, if you guy's think the CC's ride nice (which they do) wait til you ride in a Seavette.
Mr.P told me, "for some reason that boat rides like a 35 footer", and darn if it doesn't.

BTW, I don't want to hear any crap for not having it done. Note in this post where it says "wait". [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

The only manual you own with the pages stuck together is the 1972 Sears Catalog :o

I read em; sounds good :D

Re: That Seacraft Ride.
 

Just as a general comment, when I first got here Finster was much more active than of late, not that's such a bad thing :D Finster since your in the marine biz and NJ do you know an artist known as Dunk ???

Re: That Seacraft Ride.
 

ESD,
Don't get Finster going. It's been nice and peaceful around here while he was out of town. :D

Dunk used to be on this site a couple years ago but I don't think he took to us very well. ;)

Re: That Seacraft Ride.
 

I know Dunk very well via the net and email, no he's not an SC fan and I take every opportunity to that end. Just wanted to know if Finster actually knew him, I even remember when the Seavette came home, good thread.
