Yep, thats a Seamaster

Yep that's the real McCoy. Err, Moesly.
27' but I supposse whan you add twin out boards on a bracket Probably stretches it to an easy 30'.
tel. no. has me thinking "I hope that rig wasn't recently in San Diego area..."
Name looks familiar. That's not Third Day's ride is it?

Didn't Mr Mosley recently have a 27 with bracketed twin yamis? Is this the one he and Carla let go?

Brian's came from Texas with an I/O...

This may be the one Carl bought about 5 years ago with
the Yami's on it..

Hate to delete it, but this is stepping on the rules...
I may post the pic and remove the link from Hooligan's post !

It is just like this one..;)

It is not Carl's old 27..
This is the hull when it went up for sale again 8/2013 in our
FS section...

Let it ride

moesly :p:p

Thanks NoBones, should've put the pics up via html but wasn't aware it was breaking the rules. You took care of it: much appreciated.

I had heard of the 27, not a 30' so from my understanding then this is a 27 that is being called a 30'.

Just amazes me that no one picked up this mold and turned it into their own design... a la "blackfin" etc.

Cool bit of seacraft history and certainly more rare than the 20/23 bread and butter designs.

This hull came from the same mold but more than likely an 86-87 model master angler that they built from the older seamaster molds.

Is that the same boat on the TV show from Florida Sportsman?? Marine Customs took a 27'er and gutted it and made it into a CC. If I remember it was BIG bucks when they got done!!!

Damn it. That picture Flyingfrizzel posted has me. Where would one go about seeing that thing in person?

Nope....
That one is a 1968 SeaMaster converted by Fantastic Plastics
It was recently on the market for 50K in Stuart,FL....:cool:
Pretty sure it sold listing no longer on Yacht World!

Yes Brian and his crew at PF / M Customs did the show boat.

It was in Stuart, FL area somewhere.

So that's Brian's old bote? Turned out nice for an CC

Brian ODonnel owns MF.
The boat came locally.

If I remember right, when they did the TV program they showed the Seamaster when it was purchased, pretty rough to say the least. However I think they bought it for like $2,500 and there was way over $100k in the resto.

Nope..

The FL would indicate it lived it's life in Florida since birth.
Brian's came from Texas

The number ends in "AX", My 1968 is FL-0973 "AN"
My 1970 20 SF ends in "AR"
Had a 1964 Lone Star with FL-4383-AC
Also 1961 Feather Craft FL-2148-AT....

You will notice in Florida the alphabet goes up as the years went up. ;)

Brian from Marine Customs (aka Fantastic Plastics, aka The Fiberglass Shop of Stuart) built that 27 around 2003-2004ish for a customer. The boat was originally a 27 Seamaster Flybridge that was converted into a center console. After a while, the guy sold it back to Brian at Marine Customs and then he used it for a few years. It went up for sale again sometime in the past year or so.

So was this the boat that went under the FS My Dream Boat Resto recently?

Does the awesome classic car museum still exist in York?

Agreed but I would love to know how it rides. And reminds me of the Tournament 27... My white whale... or Elenor if your a fan of gone in 60 seconds.

That boat was for sale by project boats in Grant Florida, where was later restored many years before it was featured on the show. I saw it a long time ago, when I was down in Stuart taking to Fantastic Plastics. I didn't like the fact that it had the Yamaha models that had all the problems.
The restoration was very nice, they extended the hull with a euro transom.

How funny.

That hull came outta the woods.
Much like Ken Do.

Local.


There.
Many of the workers seemed to go the extra mile there.

Time for a SeaCraft Story!
That boat was originally had twin 165hp Mercruisers, and was called the Raven. Owned by the proprietor of a small auto repair shop in Eau Gallie, Florida, it sat in the water at Anchorage Yacht Basin in Melbourne for a couple of years before sinking at the dock in 1988 in only about 2'-3' of water.

I was the new manager at the marina at the time, and I re-floated it, then hauled it out to try to remediate as much as possible. We discovered that the owner had converted much of the electrical to solid house wiring, and we saved one motor, but the other was toast. The interior was still in very good condition, however. The owner had no insurance and signed the title over to the bank which owned the marina (The marina was in bankruptcy).

I offered the bank $1000 for the boat "as is, where is", but they declined my offer. The bank put it up for auction 6 months later, and I again bid $1000 for the Raven, which did not meet the reserve price. So the boat sat there on the rack.

I accepted a call into full-time ministry in '89, and left the marina. A couple of years later, the Raven was still sitting on the rack at Anchorage, and the new marina owners declined my offer of $500, as they were suing the PO (the elderly auto repair shop owner) for storage charges.

After the previous owner passed away the Raven was handed off to Project Boats for sale, where it sat in their yard for another few years.

I made one last attempt to purchase the Raven in late '95 after moving back to the USA from the Bahamas, but my offer of $500 for the hull and $500 for the trailer it sat on was turned down. The next time I saw the hull was photos during the resto.

And now you know the rest of the story...

I don't know of a car museum in York. Where was it?

There is some sort of car museum on RT 1 in Wells and once a year there is a huge classic car show at Starkey Ford on RT 1 in York, but that is all I know of.

Great time line Fr. Frank. If you watch the Florida Sportsman show, the CG is way forward. It rode bow heavy on plane. Watch that episode online.

It was on us 1 and could have been Wells.

Ah, the sluts of wells beach
Good times

Now that is pretty funny!

Good memories.

He has it on CL and on paper it's a 27, also said it's a 1975... he thinks.
