I have a 18' seacraft flats boat.

[Rich]

I remember reading a post on CSC.com that talked about a guy that had a custom 18 flats boat. However, I think it was from an original 18 that he chopped down. I tried looking for the post without any luck... Too many friggin posts.. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

maybe someone else remembers the post..

I remember that post Rich, He took an 18 and cut it down because he had a 23 that he fished offshore and loved the boat and wanted a flats boat with the same hull. He found and old 18 and redid it as a flats boat with a flush fordeck, sweet looking ride... That boat doesn't look like a SeaCraft hull, must be a poser...lol

can you show us a photo from DIRECTLY behind the boat so as to facilitate seeing the "steps" between the planes. On the SeaCraft boats that many of us are familiar with, those "steps" are a vertical jump up/down to the next plane... (I'm sure there is someone on here who can more clearly describe what I am trying to say [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]).

One other thought, and I'm not trying to split hairs here: each company who has owned and produced SeaCraft boats has maintained the same typeface, be it Potter, CSY, Tracker, SeaCraft Industries, etc. The word SEACRAFT on this boat is all different.

IF it is a SeaCraft, it is surely a rare one!

Well............

Its something.

either it is a boat tracker built under the SeaCraft name in the late eighties.


Or someone put a late eighties seacraft sticker on the side.

here is a shot of a 1989 23 CC note the sticker.




My best guess is Tracker wanted to get into the flats market and slapped the SeaCraft name on the side.

Whatever the case may be..... welcome Snooker33 and although we have no specs on your boat we will try our best to help.

I stand well corrected on the typeface issue, apparently there was more variety than I was previously aware of.

Considering how rare this one must be, Otto is sure to want one for his collection [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It may have been built by Tracker, but the hull is a bit short of being a Sea Craft VD hull. The steps look close in the stern shot but they are a bit small compaired to an 18. It looks like they don't run all the way to the bow. It has a SeaCraft name but it is not a true Sea Craft hull like we all know. Cool boat though....Welcome to the club.. watch out for Otto....
