Who gives a crap how great a SeaCraft rides
 
I'm not going out in 30MPH winds and getting blown all over China. Brunch planes ruined today due to the wind. We were going to take my brother and his new wife out on a nice boat ride to the Grand Island Mansion on the 25 seafari. I don't think they would have appreciated the Variable degree deadrise hull on a day like today. Now we are taking a Toyota Camrey instead. I hate the delta in the Spring/Summer. As soon as the kids are grown I'm getting the hell out of here. Go ahead and beat me up. I might as well own a flat bottom aluminum skiff.

Sorry for the bad weather luck.

Not too many bright folks go out in the open for fun in 30mph. Its when you get caught out unexpectedly in that or worse that a Seacraft, particularly the 25, shines.

Sorry to hear that nasty wind ruined your plans.I hate to admit though ,that I did get a chuckle out of your rant.
You sound very much like me every time I get up to the boat for a week or two of fishing.The weeks before I leave the water conditions are perfect light winds stable water conditions.
The day we arrive,the winds change to the east-northeast,with nice steep waves that seem to be twelve "inches" apart.
I'm like Gary Sinese(liutenant Dan) in forest gump,yelling up to the sky screaming "C'mon,is that all you got? I'm usually throwing the finger while I'm screaming all kinds of four letter words.
I've had trips when out of eight days,we were only able to fish one or two of them.I HATE WIND!!!

Good luck with the weather Strick. I spent my ait army training at Fort Ord near Monterey. It seemed pretty nice there compared to lots of other places.Look at it this way,the fuel mileage is a lot better in the Camry.and better cup holders

Well you have been down to the island...I highly recommend that you start looking for the place you want now, before the prices start to really rise.

There was one on your road for $349. Old wood house. I have been looking around. We need a get away place. The entire Delta is usually too windy to have any fun on during the spring/summer. It gets good Sept thru March. My brothers wife gets motion sickness real easy and she even got a little queasy on the car ride yesterday :)
