Glad you guys got to see her in action in the summer of 2009 and, with the exception of some newer canvas, upholstry and my good from far, far from good blue paint job, still the same as when it left the factory 34 years ago.
Castalot and Dave it's a teaser to me too when I watch it because I wish I was doing that right now. I hear you about getting some vid while up on plane but I think I was pretty fortunate of my friend getting that one to me. I generally run the Seafari slower than that. The 30000 islands of Georgian bay is very conjested. There are lots of narrow channels with lots of boat traffic and docks. Although not a no wake zone, I am a courteous boater. She throws one heck of a wake. I don't want my neighbours to be pissed at me. Also I'm cheap! At those speeds, I'm still running on last years gas...Haven't put a dime in this year. As you can see, I'm in no hurry while on the Craft but I'll try to get some vid on plane. Watch out for my new video coming out in 2010..
and Dave knock yourself out on those pics. I put those windshield pics on for you anyway.
Denny thanks for the kind words. Regarding the ladder, I posted "Seafari boarding ladder" a couple months ago. Looking back, I think I screwed up on one of the measurements but hopefully all who wanted to recreate one gathered enough info from that. I'd like to cruise her down to meet you in the Bahamas one day and would have no reservations in doing so in the 25. I cut down through Lake Champlain, Hudson River, Chesapeake Bay, Florida Inland Waterway and across to meet up with you guys. Actually I've wanted to do that for years but figure I wont have the time untill I retire. I figure a few weeks to get down at my speeds and 1 tank of gas...
Regards
Brandon
BTW Nuthinfancy looking forward to your vid. Maybe we'll start a trend
