Since I own a 1978 boat, I am going to say that there is nothing like an old SeaCraft hull. We have members on this site who have new SeaCrafts and love them.
I will tell you that I have had four boats around this size, and this boat (although it is the oldest) is far and away the best riding and seaworthy boat.
If you go to other web sites (like
http://www.thehulltruth.com), and you do a search you should fine a wide array of opinions on the newer SeaCrafts. If memory serves me correct, there was some hope that once SeaCraft relocated it's manufacturing facility to NC that things were going to improve. I cannot talk to that, but I am sure that there are those who can.
Good luck.
