OTTERLY-

MANGO is definitely a Seacraft. My friend JOdi of Wilco Marine in Newbury, MA owns her. He has the 1974 title for her and you cannot question the famous variable deadrise in the stern. She needs a new 4cyl Mercruiser and some work to the floor. The console has the original seacraft name plate on it....the teak console doors seem to be original but not 100% sure. The tinted windshield has definitely been replaced.

MANGO is a local boat and has spent her entire life in the Newbury, MA area. Actually, one of her old owners tried to buy her back from my buddy but he wanted it for a fire sale so he told the guy no. He has gotten about 40 calls on the boat but most people are tire kickers or want to convert the I/O to an outboard setup...and he won't sell it to them. He'll only sell the boat to someone who will restore her right and leave the I/O in place. If it doesn't sell by spring, he and I will haul her into her shop and restore her with the original I/O setup.

If I could afford two boats or hit Megabucks soon, I would by Mango in a heartbeat.
