Snookerd
I'm interested in the boat.How is the deck and transom.Have u done a compression test.I would like to come and have a look at it .I'm in central florida
Thanks

Dave

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

deck is solid, transom is solid. One spot on the deck (in front of the console) that has some cracks in the glass. I never fixed it since 01 and it has not deteriorated. The original deck attached bow running light was removed for the hull type "eye" running lights. The old place on the deck where the running light was not glassed over, and has recently worn thru to show the circle cut from the factory(1.5 inch opening). Compression was done last Summer. All cylinders were good. The lower unit on the motor is missing about an inch of metal around where the prop housing starts(electrolisis from a welded lower unit) Trim tilt has always had a leak. Motor starts right up

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

$$$$$$ 2,900 $$$$$$$$$ for a SeaCraft, The Birdsall RL, Elect, Trailer, extras add up more than that.......
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND???? I might come and buy this just to "Flip it" I could make a good buck :eek:

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Hummmm----- "Flip This Boat" with your host Capt Chuck
Watch out Ship Shape TV---- :o
The Chuckster is coming to a station near you. :D

See ya, Ken

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

would 1989 be trackers 3rd year? was there any year of any known problems? I am still interest as others for this does look like a great deal for a solid boat.Keith

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Chuck-It has got to gooooo. I want it gone. My 23 is screaming to get worked on. My kids literally started washing down the 23 right when we got in from Jupiter on Sun.. We are turning the page on the 18SF. I got sucked into the turn key situation on the 18 and put off the 23. Time to get busy on the wet sanding & compounding the 23 hull spray job.

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Leverette5-Tracker took over in mid 88. You can search this topic, but I've been in on all of them on CSC. The hulls, decks, ect. have no weakness. The hardware was knocked for quality. I have never heard a transom or deck issue for Tracker SeaCrafts. After being used for 18 years, I would say it was built well. The yamaha 130 has also been a topic of discussion by many CSC folks to say that the match of weight and power was ideal for the 18SF.

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Thanks Ken for passing the info

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Leverette5-It was mid 87 not 88 my bad, your right on with your info.

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

I'm working it for you :D

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Im sure this boat will sale soon.I have my 23 SF and this boat would be for my brothers son.the yamaha dealer in pompano will sell me a new 150 two stroke for $7000.00. I am going back to the Keys to catch more big fish saturday for a week.If it has not sold when I get back I will drive over from boca and take a look.Is the old Yamaha worth anything and do you no if a new 150 yamaha will match up the bolt pattern? Thanks Keith

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Danny's boat will be gone by Sunday!
This is way to good of a deal to last another week.
Ken

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Im sure your right.I am just out of time with this Keys trip.I hope it sells.I will check when I get back. Good luck Keith.

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Leverette5-
Cannon's Grady/Yamaha in Sarasota says it is the same bolt pattern for the 150 2 stroke.

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

I think my father-in-law would buy this boat if it were closer to Virginia. He has a new motor waiting to mount on it as well.

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Thanks Dixon!
Jetroc-Sounds like a match with that motor he's got!

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

he has a 115 johnson 2 stroke

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

I just found a 115 Yamaha with low hours on Craigslist in NY for $2500 if someone is looking. I spoke with the guy. Strick got his 130 for around 2K for his 20SF

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Danny, I am so surprised that someone has not jumped all over this boat! This is a GREAT boat with a lot of TLC given over the years. Only someone from CSC DESERVES to have this boat!

If only I had more space to put another boat ..... :D

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

If I lived remotely close(oxymoron, I know), that would be in my driveway by now. :)

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Same thing here. I would absolutely love that boat in Barnegat bay. It would be perfect.

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Carla, Peter, and Oldfielder-Thanks for the positive feedback! As of last night, a deal is pending. It is an out of state buyer. Another story of the value we place on these boats that gets confirmed by that type of effort to find the right SeaCraft and purchase it from a long distance away. Thank you EVERYONE for your comments, I appreciate it. This means that I am preparing to join the ranks of the "worker" CSC members on the ruff 23SF. Watch out! Gotta get the mojo going :D

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Danny, you owe me a dollar! :D
A parting shot of your beloved 18 at Anclote.

Congrats, Ken

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Ken-You the man! Thank you. We can arrange that dollar exchange :D. I like that shot you posted. Heck of a pocket battle wagon-that 18 is. I am working on the 23 today. I am now in full ahead mode on the 23

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Danny,

Are you keeping the twin 225 Merc setup for the 23'?

Peter

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Peter-Currently yes. I am pretty confident that, with the excess power managed properly, those motors will be reving pretty low and be as efficient as possible (can't use the word efficient and merc 225 carbed 2 stroke in the same sentence). The weight is less of a concern knowing that 445lbsX2 motors is not really out of line. I see the new SC25's with 225 optis in their ads all the time. I will be playing with those jack plate heights to see the best spot for running. I have been watching your adjustment process with motor height variation. The motors may get new 200hp decals :D

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

Snookered, Is your 18 still for sale?

Re: 1989 18SF Ready For New Power
 

no, sorry it is sold.
