VDH Hull on Sailfish Boats

[84 Master Angler]

Don't get me wrong, I do love the old SeaCrafts, and learned a lot from many on this board - which is why I still lurk around. And Dear Capt, I hardly think those that own a classic pre-80's Seacraft are the only ones who frequent this site. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

But all I see is that another manufactuer took an unbeatable hull design, stretched it and made it an unbelievably dry boat. I had my dad on it yesterday - and he owned the other SeaCrafts I mentioned, and all he said was wow, nice boat and great ride (he owns a regulator now). My only quasi-complaint about the boat is that the console is too HUGE, but with built in tackle storage, walk in console with marine head and decent access to electronics in the console I gues I can't complain. The enclosed transom with built in bait well and a small transom door are also hard to beat. So the boat takes care of my fishing needs an has enough creature comforts to satisfy my wife. If I had 50k to re-do a SeaCraft or the 38 K for the Sailfish, boat alone, it would be a tough decision.

Strick - I hear ya - But I can't do what you do to fiberglass. Your boat is truly a gem.
