1979 Seavette back in action

I have been slowly getting this old gal back in working order. Im about 85% complete. I ran into a large fiberglass problem/delay in addressing a soft spot in the cabin. Long story short, I had to remove the orinigal long cabin window to ensure that she is seaworthy and water tight. Bascially had to redo the entire cabin topside. I brough all the exterior wood back to bristol condition and Im now starting to enjoy running her around the bay.
She is surprisingly fast with a 250 pushing her. I saw 47 WOT..until I spun the hub. Take a look and let me know what you think. Also Topflight graphics (who I learned about on this site) made all the new decals which turned out amazing.(I think). Next up is finishing headliner in cabin interior and maybe tinting the window/windshield to complete the james bond spy boat vibes of this unique old boat. |
That's really nice!

I can hear the Bond theme in my head. That is too cool!

Man! I need some videos of that boat ripping around!
Also a nice photo tour of the whole boat would be awesome. I think the seavette is one of the most unique classics out there. Love it! |
Quick story on the yellow SeaVette Dave used to own (I'm pretty sure his name was Dave), the one he brought to a gathering in New Port Richey....you know the one GFS took on a ride and it took a day to wipe the smile off his face!!!!! Anyway, my brother asked me to look at the old beat up I/O 23' CC in Palmetto he was looking to buy. I got the directions, drove up to the house and low and behold right next door was the yellow SeaVette in the side yard. Had a nice conversation with his wife about the boat and still wonder who bought it and where it's at.
Nice job Mr. peterdiamond on your SeaVette!!!!! :) |
Bad ass wagon there.
