Nice - did you get to run it ? In the ocean to check out the ride in choppy seas ?
|
never got her to the ocean but she handels the weekends on lake lanier here in n ga just fine and Lanier gets pretty rough !!!!
|
got a set of out riggers and a downrigger that go with her
|
That's a deal! Someone should snap that right up.
|
Im askin exactly what I have invested in her dollar wise, not a dime for all the hours
ive spent, nor the grand I spent on the trip to the keys to get her. few things I forgot to mention, has new underwater lights rebuilt SS props, and a older vhf radio that works with a new 8' antenna |
Was this an I/O.

Is this Gary's old boat sure looks like it with those old mercs I tried to buy the boat for years when he finally was ready to let it go I had already got a 2nd 23 but I am without a seacraft now and missing them might be interested in the boat but have to think on it for a while ok what is bottom dollar sure would like to bring it home to key largo..........
|
Yes, I do believe it was Gary's from key largo that I bought it from, and as far as bottom dollar , make Me an offer. Im not hurting to sell now as I was when I posted her, I have since sold My Monterey bow rider and settle the little monetary problem I was having. Im headed to Canada for a few weeks for a hunting trip so I wont be able to respond to any one till mid November.
Peace Out:) |
Back from Canada, thought Id bump her 1 mo time
|
More interior pics - cabin ?
Nice boat. |

would like to see some pictures of the inside, also the cockpit transom area. I am interested, might be my next project
|
Ok, sorry bout the delay, been busy with Christmas stuff and chasing Bambi's grand paw
|
Are the seat covers original. If not, where did you get them?

I have the same, but in much worse shape. I'd love to get another set, but don't know where. If whoever you sell the boat too wants to get new seats, I'd be happy to buy his old covers.

Custom made is probably my only option, but I'm patient.

Connor,
If you have the original fiberglass seats, I still have my old original seatback covers, although they're pretty ratty - one is torn and the piping is ripped on the other. I had new 4" thick lower cushions made up for the original seats and just use a thicker throwable cushion for the back. However a good shop might still be able to use the old covers for patterns. I can bring 'em up to Long Point if you plan to be there. Denny |
just buy the whole boat and you'll have some good seat covers :)
|
Reduced!!!!!!
Ok, Ive got an opportunity to pay My house off at a drastically reduced price due to the fact that the original owner who financed me years ago is getting up there in age and dosent want me to have to deal with his estate if he passes. 8k
this is your chance to grab up a really rare 25 Seafari for great price, this is a LOT LESS than Ive invested . I am willing to put 4 new tires on the trailer at this price so it can be towed any where you want. I also have a good benette trim tab motor that will come with it Phil 770-354 50two 8 |
no interest? Im posting her on THT tonight
|
bump
|
I can't believe it hasn't sold at this price.
Dave |
Yea .I thought it would go quick at this price too, I can deliver for a price{ in the SE }
|
Would probably cost a small fortune for me to pick it up and deliver as far north as Mass but I sure could use a reason to visit my buddy out on the Cape!.!. My Raptor doesn't tow a lot of weight, has extremely soft suspension, and gets some pretty poor fuel mileage. Probably couldn't drive after dark because my headlights are pointing at vehicles on the overpasses! Towing an empty dual axle trailer down from NJ to SC literally DOUBLED the toll bill alone! Best of luck with that beauty!
Vezo, Part II |
I pull it with My chevy 1500 with a 4.3 v6, it didn't like pulling it out of the lake up the ramp but it pulled it. Im guesin the total package weighs around 5k and its balanced on the trailer well with not a ton of tongue weight .
|
Well that would sure help. Rated for 6000 lbs but I pulled a 71 Camaro with WAAAAAAY too much tongue weight. Ft. Launderdale to Hilton Head, truck did well. 4200 lbs plus one way aluminum rental trailer. I'd do it again. Daylight only... Haha.

No, Friz, the Camaro belonged to a friend (my outboard mechanic). He tried relocating down there and it did not work. Car was beautiful, but sold for 10G's, I believe.
With my disability I have to watch for this kind of stuff. Always nice to visit the Cape when kids are in school!!! |
Just acquired a set of surge break hubs, actuator and new break lines to add breaks to one axel ill throw in for an extra 250 bucks.
|
Hey Bro, just arrived to my house in fla.. Trailered 15' Boston Whaler down for final shakedown. 13.0 mpg!.! Can't imagine what it would cost for yours. Anyhow, be back the 16th if you find a buyer. Feel bad for my Brethren in Jersey and the Cape...
Part II And good luck with the brake job!.! |
Putting the breaks on this weekend if I get time, got the trim motor to install too. also plan on runnin the motors for a bit, haven't fired them off in a while.
