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

Scott,

Congratulations!! I'm sure you'll love it. Nice looking boat. Did you get to take her out?

Scott,

Congradulations... from a fellow project SeaBird owner! I have a '73 23 footer that was an I/O Cuddy model. I'm going to close the transom for a full floatation bracket and then interior mods. SeaBird made a nice boat in their time. I wish I knew more about the company's history. Best of luck.

Jim - no, I didn't get to take her out, but we ran the engine for a good 30 minutes or so without issue. Also did a compression test (courtesy of Jack [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] ) with all cylinders equal.

JAL - do I hear the rumblings of ClassicSeabird.com? [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] We'll have to keep in touch and compare notes.
