thanks for sticking your head in here, i was about to ask who had the 20' seafari at rybovich... what are your plans for her?

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

well everything is solid now im in the paint prep stages should be done within the next 30 days then on to the new gauges lights and teak motor runs perfect so no worries there

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

btw if any one knows where i could get an original passenger seat platform that would be great :)

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

Not sure what you mean by "seat platform", but I have an original pedestal and mating spyder that attaches to the original fiberglass bucket-type seat if that's what you're looking for. I replaced original helm pedestal in this pic with an adjustable height version. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...aripics006.jpg

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

And you're close!

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

Thank you! But what I'm actually looking for is the piece with the sink. btw I'm in North Palm too. I love your door, I have been sanding on mine and finally got all the paint off lol that was fun. It would be cool to see your Seafari in person sometime!

Update: the painters came and looked at my progress today. We went over all the little things I still need to do. She should be ready for 545 primer on Sat. They assured me that after they paint it its gonna look AWeSOmE WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

Sent you a PM with phone nos. and address. You're welcome to swing by anytime. I used Epifanes Wood Gloss varnish on the door, about 6-7 coats. PowerBoat reports recommended it as the most durable varnish, and it's held up well. Denny

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

well we put three coats of 545 on her today.

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

She looks PDG from this distance! Nice job!

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

That paint job came out REALLY nice! Did you have your cabin window frames black powder coated? They look sharp! Denny

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

Looks fantastic! Nice work. I imagine you can't wait to splash her. :cool:

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

to be honest i think its just black paint they were new when i bought the boat

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

Hey there! Saw you guys you at Peanut last month. I'm the girl with the 72 Seafari that was beached next to you.. Cool to see what a mess your craft was in before, what a transformation! Just wanted to stop by and say hi :D

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

Brenda, yours and this one, plus Tiny's yellow one and mine make 4 Seafari's I know of in this area! Tiny stopped by to say hello last week. We should have a Seafari gathering at P.I. when he gets it back together! Denny

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

YardSailor,
Is yours yellow with a happy dog ridin` shotgun?
There`s another yellow one in Lake Park so that makes 6.

Paint looks like glass. Is this the one that was at the storage place on Blue Heron for a lonnnnng time?

Cheers,
GFS

RE: seafari 20 restore project
 

Sandy,

The yellow boat may be Tiny's - he lives in Lake Park. Denny

Re: RE: seafari 20 restore project
 

His boat was on CL a week or two ago. Wonder what happened? He did such a great job. BTW it was the one on Blue Heron in the storage yard that was there 4-ever. The yellow one w/tower from NPB has been on and off the market for awhile too.

Re: RE: seafari 20 restore project
 

CL? The horror. Hope she finds a loving home.
Why am I drawn to SC`s in the weeds?

Cheers,
GFS

Re: seafari 20 restore project
 

Great looking boat

Re: RE: seafari 20 restore project
 

It's not the SC's its the WEED! http://forums.floridasportsman.com/s...iley/cigar.gif
