Welcome to the site cre44

At least the SeaCraft name is still alive, other than that
not to much praise for them.

See ya, Ken

Any specifics on why? Looking at new boats in the under 20' range and love the layout of the 20 (mainly 1 level deck)...

Since I own a 1978 boat, I am going to say that there is nothing like an old SeaCraft hull. We have members on this site who have new SeaCrafts and love them.

I will tell you that I have had four boats around this size, and this boat (although it is the oldest) is far and away the best riding and seaworthy boat.

If you go to other web sites (like http://www.thehulltruth.com), and you do a search you should fine a wide array of opinions on the newer SeaCrafts. If memory serves me correct, there was some hope that once SeaCraft relocated it's manufacturing facility to NC that things were going to improve. I cannot talk to that, but I am sure that there are those who can.

Good luck.

hey newbie- i love this site but you will find that some, not all, of the older hull owners seem to have a severe dislike of the newer seacrafts for whatever reason- i know more recent owners than classic owners personally, and the feedback is on the whole very good- i own a 2000 sc21 that i love-fit and finish is great- i have heard all about the quality control and customer service issues at seacraft and they are true as i have dealt with the home office when they were in miami- i have heard good things since the relocation to nc- time will tell- good luck
