Hi John,

As you would probably expect, I second Gillie's comments, for both economic and moral reasons! What you are proposing is a LOT more work than the extensive restoration you did on your Sceptre. Another member recently proposed doing the same thing. Big Shrimpin and others advised him that from a practical standpoint he'd be WAY ahead in both time and money to buy an old beat up CC and just restore it. They literally made thousands of CC models from about '68 right up until just a couple of years ago. Seafari's on the on the other hand, were only built for 10 years by Moesly and Potter and only about 700 or so exist, so it just seems wrong to destroy something that rare and unique to turn it into something that's relatively common.

As far as looks are concerned, I realize that beauty is in they eye of the beerholder, but I personally think that both the Seafari 20 & 25, along with some of the downeast lobster boats have some of the most beautiful lines of any boat ever built. All the modern cuddy cabin boats look more like glorified clorox bottles to me than real boats! Denny
