There is no substitute for a SeaCraft.
here's a big part of why:
I worked in the recreational marine industry from 1976 to 1989, and have helped out friends in the industry since then. I have been the Dockmaster and Service Manager at several marinas, selling the following brands over the years: Mako, T-Craft, Boston Whaler, Privateer, C-Hawk, Grady White, Allison, Chris Craft, Century, Intrepid, Cary, Cigarette, Donzi, Cruise, Glastron, ProLine, Allmand, Ebbtide/Dynatrak/Stingray, Sea Ray, Bayliner, North American, Renken, Rinker, Larson, Wellcraft/Excaliber, Sutphen, Velocity, Checkmate, Hydrostream, USA Marine (Don Aronow), and of course, SeaCraft.
Ive seen these boats wrecked, disassembled, used and abused. I've driven and ridden in every one of these brands. I've personally owned boats made by more than half of these manufacturers, plus a few I bought whose name is not on this list.
For quality control, strength of hull, elegance of design, rough water performance, and sheer durability, no other boat quite measures up to SeaCraft. I will grant you that many are excellent boats, and a couple even come close.
Interestingly enough, I know several other folks who have sold a wide variety of boat brands, including SeaCraft. Most of them own a SeaCraft still.
When you crawl into the bilge of hundreds of boats, and ride the decks of these boats in any kind of sea, you learn to recognize high quality.
There is no substitute for a SeaCraft.
