It's about time!
Well boys, I finally bought myself a boat. No more spongin' off Dad and his SC. Unfortunately it's not a SeaCraft, but as far as I'm concerned it's the next best thing - 24 Seabird CC (really 23'). She's a 1972, originally an I/O converted to a notched transom OB a few years ago. The previous owner brought her up from FL last year. She's powered by a 1989 225 Johnson (the cover is from a 200) that runs like a top. She's got a trailer but it's only good enough for storage and short hauls, although the 90 mile trip home today went trouble-free. I've attached one pic that the owner had posted on his Web site. Hopefully I'll have more to show in the next few days.

Re: It's about time!
Nice ride.... I almost bought one a while back. Is that the original consel? There is an old Seabird in the yard were I keep my boat and I stop to look at it every once in a while.
Congrats Strick

Re: It's about time!
Hey Scott - at first glance it will look like one of the rest at the next Newport CSC get together... You also bought it from a good guy and one of the original members here (did you know that?)

Re: It's about time!
Thanks for the kind words guys.
strick - The original console was replaced with this one out of a 23' Wellcraft CC. It's in great shape, although that go-fast steering wheel will be ditched for a destroyer type ASAP. The boat is a bit of a mongrel at this point, but everything is in structurally sound condition so I can't complain. And the price was right. John - Jeff is/was a CSC member? "Good guy" is an understatement. Jeff is one of the most stand-up, likeable, honest guys I've met (all of you CSC'ers I've met included as well [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ).
