FIRST SEA CRAFT

[NILS]

JUST PICKED UP MY FIRST SEA CRAFT. 1972 23 CC FROM FLORIDA. I CURRENTLY OWN A 23 CONTENDER, GREAT BOAT BUT LACKS DECK SPACE. WITH BOTH BOATS IN THE YARD ITS AMAZING HOW MUCH BIGGER THE SEA CRAFT IS. I CANT WAITE TO SLAP MY 250 SUKE ON HER AND GET HER WET. I'VE BEEN READING CSC AND HAVE LEARNED THAT MULTIPLE BILGES ARE A MUST. COULD SOMEONE EXPLAIN IN LAYMANS TERMS THE REASON SOME HAVE SLIPPED UNDER. I KNOW THE DECK IS AT OR BELOW THE WATERLINE BUT THE BOAT HAS SELF BAILING SCUPPERS. AFTER 2 SEASONS IN CHATHAM LOOKING AT ALL THE BEAUTIFUL SEA CRAFTS JUST HAD TO HAVE ONE, A CLASSIC THAT IS
