Hi all,

I talked with Scott at length yesterday, and I learned alot, and I think he picked up on where I'm at.

He mentioned Silverhawk, and Sailfish as boats that are modeled after the Seacraft hull design. Upon further investigation of Silverhawk, I found out that they are no longer producing boats, and are owned by Topaz. The NJ dealer I spoke with had one leftover with a Mercruiser inboard/bravo3 sterndrive. He said he didn't know what plans Topaz had for the line, but if they had that 24' in an outboard version, based on what I've heard and the price, I would have seriously considered it.

Sailfish, appears to be more of a price boat, but far be it from me to turn my nose up at a good value, if the quality and resale is there as well. That said, in the class of boats we are talking about, does anybody have any feedback on the 266/238 and sailfish quality in general. Yamaha power is typical for Sailfish, which is a plus in my book. I also like recent Merc Optis as well though.

Thanks, and I do appreciate the fact that this is not a board of Seacraft snobs. I will still give Seacraft a good look, and I hope they produce the high quality boats that you classic guys revere so much.
