Jonny Morris buys Hatteras
Looks like old Johnny Basshole is looking to ruin another legendary brand!

And can't believe the SeaCraft 18'-32' molds have been sitting unused since 2008...

Remember many years ago, telling my age here, was at the original World Wide Sportsman buying more trolling lures and ran into Johnny Morris in the store. At the time I did not know who he was and that he had bought the business from Billy Pate! I was asking him about the three or four SeaCrafts on display next to the store, I thought they were just so damn nice. Asked him how much for the 23'er and it was like $20,000 or so. Holy cow, NO way I could afford that...$20k for a boat!!!! Anyway the rest is history, the new WWS in Islamorada is a major tourist attraction with the normal BPS high prices!!

What a shame. I'm willing to bet new 20-25 seacrafts would sell pretty well right now.

WWS and early Islamorada

Since our move to SC 21 years ago have only been to the keys 3-4 times. Probably the most recent was about 6 years ago to visit Skip & Carla. What surprised me then was yes many places had be bulldozed and replaced. But, there were still some mom & pop type places with names I recognized from many years ago. We all wish things would stay the way we remember them- including ourselves.:):) |
