20 Years of Classic SeaCraft
 

Happy Anniversary brethren of CSC! 2-25-2002 was the date that Jason took our site live. Those of you that were around from the git-go or just found your Graceland between then and now, thanks for the memories! Thank you Tim for stepping in and keeping us up and running. We never experienced the site disappearing for more than a few days over these 2 decades because of the efforts of a few people. Thank you. Classic Mako wasn’t so lucky with their site staying running. Let’s keep gettin’ after it! April’s gathering will be a great time! I hope to see more of the crew. We still have Grand Cay in July as well.

Wow, thanks for the reminder Snookerd, how time flies when you're having fun! Thanks to all the folks who've made CSC possible! Back in '02 I'd just received a bonus at work in West Palm when I stumbled across an 18 SF without power, in great shape for short money. I'd long admired SeaCrafts, and quickly came to the conclusion "If not now, when?" Not long after that, IIRC, I googled "SeaCraft boats" and found CSC, which really reinforced my belief that I wasn't crazy (although a couple of friends thought I was absolutely nuts). I was also dead set on slapping a 115 Yamaha 4 stroke on the back of the 18, but couldn't find one around, and wound up putting a DF140 on... and the rest is history.

Happy anniversary! I'm glad to be a part of it also.

I was a lurker for the first year and half...
Decided to climb aboard in 2004 !

The long lasting friendships because of this site is priceless. :)
Have owned many a SeaCraft over the last 36 years and sharing the knowledge
with all the other talented people here goes without saying.

Facebook has taken a lot of people, but CSC is still for the hard cores.

Lets keep it going ! :cool:

Holy cow!!! I don't have any idea how I heard about this site, too many brain cells have bit the dust since then to remember!!! But I'm so happy I did!!!

I had a "hard on" for a SC years before I got back from TX while doing the corporate thing....just loved the looks and the ride. Even though I bought my 1998 Hewes Bonefisher site unseen two months before I came back to FL I knew what I really wanted was a 23' SC. Bought it in 2003 and I see I joined CSC July 2004. We all should be very proud of what the site has accomplished.....especially the way we were able to separate men from their money to build their dream boat!! :)

Like NoBones and DonV I joined in 2004 as well! I had recently bought my 1970 Seafari 20 and the knowledge already available on the board was invaluable to help me maintain her. It's been a pleasure to be here for 18 years and i hope we have many more to celebrate, see y'all in Sebastian!

I joined in 2010 after finding my first SeaCraft. Went to Atlantic beach one weekend and saw a SeaCraft 21, somewhere around 2005, and fell in love with it. Told my friend that was going to be my next boat. Five years later I found the 18 right under my nose. She had been neglected but still seaworthy. Joining this site started as, 'I wish I could do that...' and transformed into 'I did that!. Don't know what I would have done without this site and hope to be posting about my next one, the 20 sf. I've only met a couple of the members, but, I feel like I've known most of you forever! What a great site and group of people!

The best thing about this place?
The people!

Wow..joined 19 years ago...I have owned SeaCrafts for 35 years .now have a 1998 ,21 I will try to set up the Atlantic City SeaCraft gathering this summer after not having it for a few years

Wow, I can't remember which came first, the Seafari or my membership back in '02. I saw a Seafari while on vacation on Captiva and was enamored with the lines. Bought one not knowing anything about it and have been a devotee ever since. Now practicing the "3 boat" theory (illness). This is the best site because of the members!

It appears I joined in 2011. I must have been looking at the site from the outside for a while after buying Kasey's 79 20' Seafari back in 2002-2003. The Seafari was the start of many SeaCraft acquisitions and the search never ends. Had the pleasure of meeting several members and hope to meet more at the future gatherings.

I, too, have been a member for 19 years. I joined after I ran in to Carl Moesly at the boat ramp in Yankeetown, Florida one day, and he admired my '74 Tsunami. I was blown away when he revealed to me who he was, as in the early 80's I had managed a marina which was a SeaCraft dealership. I got my own first SeaCraft in late 1983, but they had been in my family since the early 70's.

I found Classic Mako in high school when I was given a free 17' Mako that had just been pulled off the bottom. It didn't take long to make it over here and fall in love with the owner build pages- the blue 20' from Block Island, Trayder's 20' on saw horses in his driveway, the red 23' Ragtime that matched my uncle's 20'...

The knowledge and documentation on both sites was so critical to getting started and tackling some of the things I've attempted over the years. There were so many times I ran inside to consult the forum mid-project, ask a question with resin on my hands, or look back at pictures to get direction or double check the next steps. I personally owe a ton to you guys!

15 years for me! 5 years building and now 9 years of washing waxing and some fishing
. LOL

Got my first SeaCraft back in 86, a 18 ft, which I hated to sell, but I had bought my 23. I am sort of a re run here, as I joined close to 20 years ago under a different name. Life got in the way and I lost touch. When I went to try a login, apparently I forgot what that name was and re registered. Got to write things down.

Nice to get out again, I know.

Set a place and time.

Enjoy.

20 years of the coolest boats on the water! Big thanks to everyone who keeps our little club going! Here’s to another 20!

While I have only been a CSC member since 2014, I confirmed that I am the.longest running ownership in my 1976 SeaCraft Safari. It is powered by an Evinrude ETEC which I added PerfectPass GPS Speed Control so I could hold a steady wakeboard speed. I am apparently the only American and one of three in the world who have added a PerfectPass to their Evinrude. The other two who became Internet friends are from Australia and Sweden, I have made both inquiries and responses to CSC and I enjoy it on a daily basis. thanks guys.
