Default Re: What am I missing???

Quonie,

A couple of quick points.

First, I believe that many people here may agree with you that there are some new materials that may be better than traditional plywood (I would be interested in a response from some of the professional boat builders who are CSC members).

Second, do you own an old SeaCraft and/or have you ever ridden in one? FYI, I have a 1978 23 footer that probably does need a deck replacement. I have a good friend who has a new 23 foot (all fiberglass/composite) center console. My old war horse does circles around this new boat in the water. Put the 2 boats in any kind of water conditions and I will blow him away (both in comfort and speed). Also, I love the lines in the old SeaCrafts.

I am only mentioning this because IMHO once you have had an old style SeaCraft, you don't mind dumping money into the money.
