Well, I'm a newbie and also Pre-Seacraft,
It all started when my brother and I found an old leaky canoe in a neighborhood dump in the late 70s/early 80s. Oh, to be a kid again with the whole summer ahead of you and the greatest joys on earth revolving around a creek and a leaking canoe!
My next boat was a 12' aluminum rowboat that, incidentally, also leaked. I saw it advertised in the local paper for $100 and couldn't resist... I soon got rid of it. Next I got a small utility boat with a 5 hp. merc. The crazy thing wouldn't plane but plowed through the water like a bathtub. After a near death experience involving a flooded river in January I gladly unloaded the POS on an unsuspecting co-worker. (lesson learned)
After this my attention began to shift from the local creeks and rivers to the wide open expanses of the Chesapeake Bay, and I began my years long search for the "Perfect Bay Boat". I went to boat shows, talked to friends who had boats and spent countless hours reading anything I could about boats. Somehow through all the online chatter of "Mako vs Boston Whaler", "flats vs blue water", "bay chop vs off shore" "modified V vs deep V" "striper vs tuna" a name kept surfacing... SEACRAFT... What was a Seacraft?? Through my searching of Seacraft I stumbled upon this wonderful site and after months of lurking decided that my next boat will be an 18' or an sf20 classic Seacraft! So, I will continue to save my mullah and admire your transformed classics and hopefully, someday, I too can be a happy owner of a wonderful classic Seacraft!
