It was getting late last night, but I liked Kens idea so much I checked but was unable to figure out how to flag the ad. Missed my meds for a couple of days and man was I pissed.

My first thought was to list my (free) 1977 Seafari with pics, and copy and paste his BULLSHIT synopsis, and a price tag of $6k. Then get up this morning and update to "Divorce forces Sale, Must Sell, $500 OBRO" !!! Savannah is my closest CL location.

Think I'll just take my meds today. Karma's a Bitch...

Peace Out.

Insulting Capt Chuck? That's some bulls$&t. Marsh bear don't come in here and be a dick. The boats worth what you paid for it. Look at the for sale section there was a professionally restored seafari with a newer motor asking 14500. Full restoration, that's a new transom, tank, rewired, hydraulic steering, painted, 2009 150 etec. It was also an outboard model which is more desirable than an io.
If you think any hull is an investment you need to rethink your strategy.
And like no bones said we are all long time members and friends here and more than willing to share experience and tips.

Marsh Bear,

I'm one the young guys here, I grew up with the Mighty Zeppelin and Bobby Dylan...a simple " come on, guys" gets the conversation going in the right direction.

You have a Moesly era Seafari, I'd guess, 1968,'69, maybe '70.
If you cleaned it up and got it running it might be worth $2-4000 to the right buyer.
But the down side is there is little interest in and old i/o.

However, if you're into it for your for your own use, the value could be priceless. The Seafari is a very versatile and very capable little boat. Many have made the trip to the Bahamas in south FL or the runs to oil rigs or the gulf. That old motor or a modern replacement offers a 4-5 mpg cruise and makes a wonderful little pocket cruiser if you will.

Our friend Denny (Bushwacker) is perhaps its greatest advocate having done circumnavigations of FL and the Bahamas in his, and Csick Nick has put 200+lb giant Blue fin in his cuddy off Stellwagen and other hallowed grounds of MA.

Get her scrubbed and see what she looks like. The early ones were very strong. Her bones might surprise.

I urge you to learn all you can about this boat. They are worth the effort. Bowrider65's father invented this hull. She has a complementary website that provides a wealth of information, reviews, ads, and real history. Here is a link to the site:
http://www.moeslyseacraft.com/literature.html

Start using the search engine as well, but remember spelling - its a Seafari not Safari.

Yours definitely looks like the camping edition with the head and maybe the camp stove and sink under the passenger seat (I cant really tell).

Good luck and ask away, most of the guys remarks weren't meant to offend they just wanna buy yer boat cheap But you gotta play nice cuz we're nice peeps, most of the time. Seriously, Like Don said, they just want you to know to look at your restoration budget, and then double or triple it. Or more.

Cheers,
Gillie

O.K. I gotta laugh.
If the young guy grew up with Zeppelin & Dylan, what the hell did the Grampa's grow up with?

Doesn't matter what the boat's worth really, matters what you want in a boat. This place can show you how to do virtually anything.
Unless you're disrespectful to the membership.
