1989 seacarft
 
The sea crafts from the late 80s seem to have bad reputations. Is this a lot of hype or is there any truth to it?

I`ve crawled around the bildge of my `89 and the lay up was suprizingly clean and tidy. Not as heavy as some others.

Snookums likes his `88 and Capt.Lloyd likes his `89.

I have a special de-slackerization kit available for club pricing.

Cheers,
GFS

Not here, they don't. And we would know... So you've come to the right place. Welcome

Hey Sandy, I saw them de-slacker kits at Costco with the "special club pricing"! Kinda wierd, they were not selling real good, seems like there was alot of them left on the shelf!! Hummmm.....:)

mine is an 85 hull and the laminations looked good, I had the hull stripped to the stringers and never found anythign that worried me.

I have buddy with a 92' 25 center console and it had a real nice air pocket in the keel lamination up towards the bow.

`85 would be heavy.

I think a lot of it is how smart/happy/comfy the lay up crew is. Temp and freshness also come into play. Second nature to them.

When you move production, you may have a building gap. Good talent there as well.

This Is more hype than anything. The only noted differences were that the hardware was a lower quality. There have been many rebuilds on CSC on late 80's boats. No one has had any issues. The Tracker SeaCrafts have proven themselves with durable coring and lamination schedules that have kept these boats together well and more apart of the classic era of SeaCraft than any late 90's boat.

25's were not made in 1992. These boats were built starting in 1998 or so

I bought my 1989 23 WA Seacraft new in in Feb 1989 and have never had a problem with anything on it. I still use it as often as possible her in the PNW.
