By Monday night the arrangements were made. Left Bluffton, mainland to Hilton Head Island, Tuesday morning at 8:30 and headed to Charleston.
By 1 I was in his driveway and by 1:40 I was loaded, secured and back on the road. Home drinking beer by 3:30. Awesome Day!!!
I wish that I could tell you this boat was junk. I wish that I could tell you I gave the gentleman a hundred dollar bill for his patience and skill set, being ever so careful loading it with his backhoe. I wish that I could tell you that I had ever entertained the idea of a cuddy. BUT, this hull is in FREAKING AWESOME SHAPE!
So far the only thing missing is the fuel hatch. Even includes every cushion, combing bolsters, and original head. Heavy scrubbing with outdoor bleach and dish detergent is revealing almost perfect gelcoat and absolutely Never bottom painted! This thing is a diamond in the rough!!!
Thank you everyone. I can only email or text photos.
I have had many SeaCrafts in my yard, but this is my second and staying, unfortunately the 79 MA may lose her garage space...

Glad to see you got it, I figured some one did after the gentleman didn't reply to my 5th round of questions, lol. He seemed like a real nice guy and the boat just as well. Very sounded very willing to help load it like you said with the backhoe. Some people wont even help you load a free boat. If it was an hour closer I would of got it right after he posted but like said before I need another SeaCraft like I need a hole in my head. After confirming how nice it is, I almost wish I did get it, but glad you did. Good luck with her and post up some pics once you get it shined up or send them to me and I can post them for you.
