Yeah it is! Despite the I/Os (which I swore I'de never own), I'm very tempted to put a call in on that one.

Sure would look good with a custom Pipe Dreams top! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Make a great family boat Brian, that camper canvas is cool... Tie up at Ocean City and be out at the 30 line by 6:00am... .but you may have to get a Chevy to tow it [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

It is a real deal at $9500, I spoke with the owner, very nice gentleman, and it sounds great. I too like the campertop I have never seen one with full canvas.

a friend of mine has an AMF Slickcraft 235 with a similar canvas set up...it really increases the useability of the boat.

Hi Trayder,

I'm interrested in the boat. How many hits you getting on it. How are the engine mounts holding up on it. A friend of mine in Va kept breaking one. I'm deployed now but will be home in a month or so. I'll contact you then.
Mike

safe travels

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum but find it as great as Classicmako.com. Although I don't run a Seacraft I admire the older models for this quality and design. I stumbled upon this site a while back, and used info posted here to help me restore my 16 center console sportcraft.

Now down to business. My Grady White used to be power with those motors, although my motors had the 4bbl carbs and pumped out 180 hp each. Two years ago I pulled those motors and dropped in two Cummins-Mercruise DTI Diesel I/O's, and the boat performed like a champ. 23 kt cruise and 30 kts in the corner, and my Grady is a LOT more boat to push (cabin, weigh etc, etc,) then that this Seacraft. Although those 470's look like they're in near mint shape, and the boat probably gets very good fuel economy I could only imagine what benefits twin little diesels would do for it.

I wish I didn't have my current Grady, I'd buy this boat.
