Welcome aboard Livetosea.
The '84s I've seen were tanks. They were built by CSY, I believe, Carribean Sailing Yachts, who have some FL racing pedigree of their own in trouncing their divisions in Ft Lauderdale to Key West Races of the late 70s and early 80s, and in winning Gulf runs too.
I read the guy who took over the company at that time, Dr. John Van Ost, by landslide worker vote turned a union shop into non-union, and they built real fine boats. The designer of those 40+' cutters believed "3 things on a boat things should never be compromised, the hull structure; the rig and rigging; and the steering system." I'm sure you'll find the same philosophy instilled in the 84 SeaCraft you're looking at.
Oh yeah, some boats in any given year were bound to be better than others, and some years over all were surely better than others, but if it has a SeaCraft hull, it probably ain't garbage. Go get it and post some pics!
