New SeaCraft owner
 

Hello everybody, I am new to the site and this is my first post. I look forward to reading and learning from the many posts regarding SeaCraft boats. I have looked for many years for the right older Mako or SeaCraft, I did find a beautiful SeaCraft 20 which I purchased last Saturday. Its a 1987, which isn't my favorite year by no means, but this boat is in perfect shape. The glaring shortcomings are the fittings and thru hulls, which I am replacing. The hull is still amazing and built like a tank. It was very challenging finding a SeaCraft in California, but I did, and can't wait to see how it performs. I have so many questions, but I will just wait until I take my first trip and see how it goes. This is my 19th boat that I have owned, but for some reason I am more excited about this boat than the previous 18.

Thanks Chris

And the more you use it, the more you will be!

Need some pics by the way!

Welcome to the site. You will like the ride in a VDH

Here are few of my projects and nightmares. The wiring is just plan horrible, I can't imagine that was factory. The most impressive thing was the quality and thickness of the teak. my buddy sanded and oiled it and we built a new backing out of starboard, that came out great. The problem I have is where I live there's an HOA and there like police roaming the neighborhood, I will work on it until they force me to move it

Welcome to CSC Chris!

You have some SeaCraft Pros out west these days to help you along ;) (Chime in you Calif boys)

PS: All I know is stay off the 405 while towing :eek:

Welcome. You live down south? I think I saw that boat on Craigslist for a while now.

Not so bad at 5:00am, quite pleasant actually as long as you steer clear of the drunks.:D

Nice looking boat, enjoy!

Thats exactly what those quick releases are, but the kicker is coming off. Right now its fixing all those damn holes they put in the transom.
