Default New SeaCraft owner

Hello everybody, I am new to the site and this is my first post. I look forward to reading and learning from the many posts regarding SeaCraft boats. I have looked for many years for the right older Mako or SeaCraft, I did find a beautiful SeaCraft 20 which I purchased last Saturday. Its a 1987, which isn't my favorite year by no means, but this boat is in perfect shape. The glaring shortcomings are the fittings and thru hulls, which I am replacing. The hull is still amazing and built like a tank. It was very challenging finding a SeaCraft in California, but I did, and can't wait to see how it performs. I have so many questions, but I will just wait until I take my first trip and see how it goes. This is my 19th boat that I have owned, but for some reason I am more excited about this boat than the previous 18.

Thanks Chris

Here are few of my projects and nightmares. The wiring is just plan horrible, I can't imagine that was factory. The most impressive thing was the quality and thickness of the teak. my buddy sanded and oiled it and we built a new backing out of starboard, that came out great. The problem I have is where I live there's an HOA and there like police roaming the neighborhood, I will work on it until they force me to move it

Not so bad at 5:00am, quite pleasant actually as long as you steer clear of the drunks.

Nice looking boat, enjoy!
