Vintage Sea Craft Advertisements late '70's

red20 · #1 09-17-2008, 12:09 PM

My Dad has been a subscriber to the Florida Sportsman since the early 1970's. Growing up we would always keep each issue to reference to or simply go back and read some articles. Well today the mag is a far cry from what it used to be but we still get it in the mail monthly. A few years ago I was going back to pull some old issues just to reread and thought the site members might like to see some of the old Sea Craft ads. I'll post a few and if you guys want I'll try to post all of them. I'd like to do the same for classic mako once they are back up and running.

here are a 20' master angler and a 23' inboard.

sorry for the upside down 23'

If you can post some ads, you will have successfully beat Finster by almost 4 years. That punk has had my father's vintage Saltwater Sportsman mags since Feb '04.

In the current issues pulled from the archive I have a 23' IB Savage, 23 Scepter IB, 18, 23 Super Fisherman & 20 MA. I know there is one for the 27' master angler, sefari 20' & 25' and the classic 20'.

here are the links again from above. not sure why they are gone?

If there is some real interest I'll scan and post them all.

Please show more. Really appreciate seeing the MA 20 ad. Would like to see one with the large console.

That would be awesome Red20,
Can't tell you how many times I've zoomed in on the pics in the brochures to try to get a better look at stuff. Like right now I'm trying to make some rod holders for the gunwales from only a small picture...Got any Seafari ads

. Look forward to seeing more. -- McGill

Gillie - did I ever send you the 2 Seafari brochures I have? The 4 page one from Moesly era is on Carla's web site, but I have a newer 6 page one from about 1972. Can e-mail to anyone else that wants them if you'll PM me your e-mail address. Denny

Hi Denny,
Yes you did send them - I refer to them all the time, even use the line drawing as a base for imagineering changes like my seating and cooler arangements. They've been an invaluable resource. Thanks again.
