The Cape Cod Crusader
I finally found a narrow weather window where I could make a run out to the end of the Cape. For the fourth time. There was a blizzard last weekend and another 8" of snow on the way tonight. But this morning, it was only flurries. So I took the chance. I knew the trailer had new bearings, and everything else checked out within reason.
I brought my money and crossed my fingers. But by 6:00 tonight I finally had it home and under a tarp, after shoveling out a snowbank to fit the outdrive. I have been quietly working on getting this deal done since thanksgiving. A shout out to cdavisb, BigShrimpin and Strick for tips on what to look for in a 25 foot Seafari or other recon about this specific boat. Unlike my 20, it is as nice a boat as I could afford. I don't need another project. It has a nice running 300 HP 350CID MAG MPI Mercruiser and a Bravo 3. For a ~40 year old boat, it seems to be in good shape. Not fancy, but not that rough. I am tired but very happy tonight after a 320 mile drive. The only drama was some snow, and warm trailer tires.

That baby is just plain old cool, I don't think I've ever been on a old 25 Seafari. That thing just wreeks of fun running through some inlet slop and into a nice swell. Love it!
