Default Re: FINALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

itdan, Congratulations! I was in your shoes about a little over a year ago, contemplating between a single and twins. I spoke with a guy here in Key West that has onwed over 20 different boats and 3 of them being Seacrafts he told me that in his opinion 23 Seacraft is the best single motor boat ever built, although I think if you run long distances I would rather have twins it all depends what your uses are.Mike at Wildfire is very knowledgeable with Seacrafts and glass work. he closed in my transom and made other changes to my boat that made all the differece in performance and cosmetics.I wish I could of been there like you are to work with him.Ask him about the Rabud scuppers they work great.I'm thinking of repowering this year with a new Fitch 250, I hear that Bombardier has fixed all the problems the motors were having.My neighbor works on these motors thats why im inclining that way, but Briguy has a great point,Im going to go to the Miami boatshow and look at the 4 strokes. Jason also mentioned that Suzukis 250 were pretty nice, my problem is service.Mike should have some pics of my boat,maybe you'll like the way its set-up,Jason is going to post some pics in the next couple of weeks. Also Armstrong makes a great bracket like someone mentioned you'll squat less because of the buoyancy and get out of the hole quick.Say hello to Mike for me, and tell him I might be bringing him a 20 CC. RS.
