1989 23' Seacraft.

[JohnB]

rsegreto,
I also own a '89 23 foot SeaCraft. Mine is the cuddy cabin style with a hard top. These were made by Tracker over in Tampa, and I have been pretty happy with mine overall. Some of the fittings, hatches, and trim were not top of the line, but most of that stuff has been replaced on my boat. The hull design is still the same in all of them and as best I can tell, if there were any problems with the hull, they would have already shown up after 12 years. When I was looking for mine, I was actually shopping for your model, and only found 2 in about 6 months. I don't believe a bunch of them where made and none of the ones I saw were right for my needs. The only suggestions I would have is to make sure that any holes or penetrations in the transom are sealed correctly with 5200. The Alum trim across the top of the transom cutout has screws in it the like to let water seap into the transom. Be especially careful of mounting screws for dive ladders (they use big screws), and trim tab accessories and holes. My boat also had chronic leaks underneath the rub rail which required me to remove it and reseal the whole deal. My gas vent also has a habit of picking up water in heavy seas when I point the nose of the boat down with the trim tabs. If your vent is on the outside of the hull, you might want to replace it with a clamshell style one.
What problems/improvements have you encountered with you boat?
