Hey Scott - at first glance it will look like one of the rest at the next Newport CSC get together... You also bought it from a good guy and one of the original members here (did you know that?)

Thanks for the kind words guys.

strick - The original console was replaced with this one out of a 23' Wellcraft CC. It's in great shape, although that go-fast steering wheel will be ditched for a destroyer type ASAP. The boat is a bit of a mongrel at this point, but everything is in structurally sound condition so I can't complain. And the price was right.

John - Jeff is/was a CSC member? "Good guy" is an understatement. Jeff is one of the most stand-up, likeable, honest guys I've met (all of you CSC'ers I've met included as well [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ).

Scott - same guy. And yes he is a top notch guy by rep. I've only chatted online/e-mail with him a few times but for all points, good guy. I know a couple people that were interested in that boat too....

Scott,
I assume you bought Jeff Smith's boat? Congrats--great project boat. I remember when Jeff bought it. Are you going to keep it at Hewitts or on a trailer (I own the Parker down the end of the dock from you and your dad.)? Unfortunately, Hewiits just jacked up their prices and I'm not sure if I will be staying...

Good luck with it.

Jeff

If you watch Shipshape Tv. Right now, they are fixing up a 21' Seabird on the sunsine network. or go to www.shipshapetv.org. Seabird had a good hull design and was well made.

jeff/MA - yup, that's his boat. I live on the Weir River so I'll keep it on a mooring. My father told me about the price increase at Hewitt's, that hurts. Although you'll be hard-pressed to find another marina at a lower price in the area. By the way, I still owe you a ride on the SeaCraft [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img] .

bjfg144 - I've seen some of those episodes, that's a nice boat their re-doing. Hopefully mine will look that good one day.

That first boat of your very own, hmmmm sort of like first girlfriends. I think you did all right Scott and it was a nice way to spend a Saturday morning. Good Luck
