I bought a "new" boat
 

Hi All-

I have been a long time classis seacraft fan. I finally just picked up my first seacraft a couple of weeks ago and thought I'd share it with the group. It's a 77' hull but was redone in 05'. What really sold me on this particular boat was the craftsmanship, attention to detail and overall condition. Not to mention it's an 18 with a 200 optimax! Here are a few pics.

Would love to hear about others feedback that have the 18 as well.

Very nice love the all white. Should think of getting the t-top canvas done in white or light tan to reall set the whole rig off

looks sweet! that thing must fly with that motor! enjoy and welcome.

Very Nice!! Love the all white, very clean look. How many mph at wot? 60?

Great looking boat! Congrats!

If i went with a white top top I would use weblon or stamiid eith it. Coating it cleans alot easier then white sunbrella or another acrylic will

Looks great! Any problems with water coming over the back or splashwell drainage?

I love the white as well..love all the high quality pop up hardware etc....plus that console and ttop are very very nice...looks like it was done right and kept simple!!!!
Question...
Was transom raised to 25"???

That is one clean looking boat. #'s?

The coffin box seat is a great idea.... never seen that on SC before.

Hey Guys-

Thanks for all the compliments and well wishes. However, I can't take too much credit! Yes, the coffin box was a big selling point for me. Gives add'l storage and a place for the wife and kids to sit comfortably. It runs a hair over 60 wot. Cruising at 37, I'm only burning 5.5 gph.

The transom and floor were raised....I believe 4 inches but don't quite me. I'm naturally nervous with that much weight on a potter hull but do far it's been pretty dry. They installed a nice flush mount drainage system in the deck. I'll take pics this weekend and post them.

Congrats, good looking boat, nice spray rail also.

Congrats! What a nice looking boat. I really like those spray rails, are they glassed to the hull? The 18' could use something to keep water from riding up the bow, as the bow is more blunt than the 20'. Post a couple more pictures of the forward deck please; it looks like they got rid of the casting platform.

What do you mean " the bow is more blunt than the 20 " . I thought the 18 was the exact same hull shape as the 20 but just two feet shorter.

Different hull. It's only 18" shorter, and some of that came out of the bow; the 20 has more of a "beak".

Very nice looking boat!
Love the spray rails, they look Huge on the 18

Very nice looking rig. Clean and nicely laid out. Thats some incredible fuel economy!!!
