Gil- Yes it's the one in Stanton, It came up for sale about 1 week after I had the other one shipped out from NY. I'd been talking to the owner about this boat since 2008... Finally the price was right so I snagged it. I still have the other boat.
SBD- the Linex is holding up great. Almost two years old.
Ed- Hope all is well with you. Yes for the most part I think I will keep it original. I may make a fiberglass swim platform with a place to mount a kicker. I will replace some of the veneer on the inside with real teak. There is already a lot of teak on this boat. There is also a HUGE teak swim platform that I have to put on the boat just to see how it looks. I will add a few things like some seat boxes with storage, fresh water wash down, Stereo and small flip down TV screen for the inside the cabin.
Sandy- Yes the prop still has lots of paint still on it and the carb is a Q jet. The engine and out drive look like they have been sitting for a long time. I will look into the oil additive.
John- Thanks. Your 23 looks FANTASTIC. I'm gonna keep it like it is for now....maybe up date the engine a bit then later down the road put either a diesel or big block in it. For now I don't mind putting around...no sense spending extra money I don't need to spend.
Eddie- Thanks. The 23 is the $821.00 turn key Tsunami. Do a search and you will find it. We are doing a few tings to it inside the shop. I'll post some picture of that later.
Ken- yea I remember...you took a hard hit for that one....You used the word PIG and Seacraft in the same sentence and that is a no no in CSC etiquette.
Capt Gucchi- Your numbers are a little off but you are right on in the direction I'm heading. I could glue both hulls together and have a 25 seafari cataraman!!!
