Im officially on the hunt for one of these mythical creatures. The more stripped the better. If anyone has any leads or comes across one keep me in mind please

Ugh Chris..

Check the For Sale section....

chump change ...

They are sometimes hard to find as only 80 were built but it seems that once they surface people don't tend to want them and they sit or go for way less than their worth. Ive seen a few given away, a few that were fairly expensive but one will surface sooner or latter. If I don't find some time to do something with mine I will let you know. Its got a new fir transom and a custom fiberglass flotation bracket but the rest us mainly untouched. Hope to get mine functional this spring (said that last year too. also the year before that I think?) but like to concentrate on the 27 semester really...

Make sure you get some big trim tabs. It's much different ride then the 23.

Saw that one Ken, way too pretty for me tho!

Shouldve iterated id like to find a full project, been sitting in the bushes or in the corner of a yard type. Figure itll be a good while before one pops up so wanna get the feelers out now. Noted on the tabs and CG sensitivity Strick, been reading a bunch.

There were only 80 made and roughly 24 of those are accounted for now. You are searching for 1 of 56 25 seafaris left across the entire globe. I bet a bunch of the 56 unaccounted for 25 seafari hulls were taken out by hurricannes b/w 1971 - 2018. Good Luck!! If you want one . . . I would try to strike a deal with the seller. It beats grinding fiberglass for 2 years and spending double that redoing a ragged out hull.

Sage wisdom above!

I know the guy who has the 25 for sale on this site and the hull is deal at the price he has on it. You would have far more invested in a project hull to get in the condition of this one.

In the spirit of black history month... "I have a dream"

I realize its a unicorn, thats why im posting here. If anyone knows where one might be, it would probably be someone on here.

This may ruffle some feathers but im looking for one to do a CC with. Notched transom with a single 300, flat cap and phonebooth style console.

Some folks like writing checks. I like creating. With raw materials and 2 hands, which have to run a grinder sometimes unfortunately. Dying breed i suppose...

I like fiberglass arts and crafts too, but those receipts add up. The 25 is a deal if you want one stock with a bracket. There was a 25 seafari project on THT about a year ago. it's a grey 25 that the owner started to cut up and make into a cc. There's been no updates on it for a while. You might be able to snag that one. I like the transom mounted outboard idea.
