1975 Bad Restoration
Cut to 2010. I reluctantly decided to sell our Pursuit 2470. It was a great boat but kids are grown, gas more expensive, not being used and needed to pay bills. Summer of 2012 I started looking for another boat. I wanted something 18-20ft that was cheap. Just something to get me across Biscayne Bay. My budget was 3-5K. We looked at a lot of boats but just could not find anything that we liked. My oldest son started looking at used Seacrafts ads and asked about our old boat. I decided to give the new owner a call and it turns out that he wanted to sell. He told me the restoration project was a disaster and he had lost a lot of money and the boat was never completed. The boat had been sitting half finished, uncovered, in his driveway for 8 years and he never even got to use it. When we went to see it we were shocked.
