We should all be as lucky
 

I just got back from looking at Jason's friends new boat and all I can say is it's a sweet deal. The transom is solid, I jumped up and down on the shaft(that doesn't sound right?) and got very minor flex. The deck seems to be rock solid all the way aroung, some hatches are a little soft. No rush to replace them in my opinion. It has minor stress cracks in the aft corners and a few scratches, but nothing you wouldn't expect on any other boat for that year.
The trailer is junk as expected. The motor has a newly rebuilt lower unit from the Suzuki deal and is good to go.
All in all the boat could be splashed and fished today. I tend to think the boat was very well maintained up until recently.

Hey Chuck, this HIN really throws a wrench in our thinking, any thoughts?? It wasn't what I was expecting to see on that boat. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

SEC = SeaCraft Inc (Potter 1969 thru 5/80)
CSY = Carribbean Sailing Yachts (1980-1982 23'& 27' SeaCrafts only)
SIC = SeaCraft Industries Corp (1980 thru 1987 other SeaCraft Models) (Potter on Board of Directors approx 1 year after sale)
TXY = Sarasota Marine Corp ('86-'88 CSY Parent Co)
SIC = Tracker SeaCraft of Fla (1987 thru 1990) all models
SXC = Stern Craft Corp (1994 Silver King Parent then Tracker Parent Co in 1995)
MIC = Silver King Boats (1994-2002 Mako Marine Parent Co)
MRK = Mako Marine (2002 Parent Co SeaCraft from Tracker)

Well, I'd have to quess it's a CSY constructed hull as TXY was their parent company and the location and time frame was when they had the 23' molds and tooling in the Tampa/Sarasota area. The hull was produced June 1981. I think any hull popped after August was titled the following year [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
