1975 18' sf

[dave s]

No wood in the foam filled stringers; only wood I found below decks, is the Kelson and some small pieces where the through hulls were.
The stringers were a well thought out design, considering it was over 40 years ago, when most boat builders put in wood and set it on it's edge.

I fished on the 18' SeaHunt offshore yesterday, and comparing it to the open layout on the SeaCraft, I will have a lot more room on deck.
And hopefully ride better in the slop too.

I've only ridden in my buddy's renovated 20' SF a few times, and it was highly modified with a fiberglass bracket and 150 Etec.
I remember it rode and fished well but was very wet; we fished in some sporty seas with that little boat.
I would have bought it but they raised the deck and cut the shearline, so there was little freeboard. And he had numerous major problems with the Etec.
