1976 Seacraft 23 CC Metan Restoration

[Bucca]

Hey Ed: We did get a offer at the show from a well known politician but he wanted us to do a motor swap to a Merc Verado and it just didn't make sense. Besides Dave's son Jack would of disowned him. That boat has been fished hard all over the East coast and it still looks mint. Even at the show it had two season on it. Anyways hope all is well with you and don't be a stranger stop bye.
Talk to you soon

Hey Mike-

Things are good with me and thanks for the update on the yellow seacraft. I was down at the new KentFab shop a couple of times over the summer getting some things added to the Mako (which i recently sold) and I was talking to Gary about how I need to see your new shop.

Anyway, for anyone who has not seen this boat in person, I think about everything has been replaced or restored, including a vacuum infused deck, custom teak anchor locker bulkhead, custom teak helm, new motor, new transom, stringers, new paint inside and out, vacuflush head in the anchor locker, yadda,yadda, yadda.

The big question was....who was the politician? Let me guess....Joe K.? His now deceased cousin (RIP)...owned a 20 (MA 109 PT). Or maybe Gov. Deval Patrick...decided to trade in his new official caddy, dubbed the Coupe-Deval by the local media.

It was the guy who I think we both saw walking the show. The truth is when he called and made the offer he thought it was a brand new boat. I had to tell him it was a 1976. There was silence on the other end of the phone. He still wanted it but with the engine swap. Didn't make any sense that boat moves along high 40's mph and sound like it has a Ford Boss 302 hanging off the back
