Hehehe-

too funny, poor Ed leaking boat, blown flip flop, wacking his truck with a hammer!!!!

I have an idea just buy Trayder and be done with it, I will even throgh in a pair of flops.

If anyone knows someone interested in a 25-27 ft Center console Trayder is for sale again, I am showing her to someone next week but would very much like to sell, that Jazz fest trip was the first time she left the slip in 3 weeks and she only left said slip 6 times this season.

Bring trayder over to nantucket for a couple of days with a few for sale signs on her. She'll sell in a minute and you'll have to fly home.

The 20 inch shaft would work well on the '18 or '20 foot SeaCrafts. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Gentlemen the 300 VMax is in their 2004 line-up

not sure a 20 inch shaft length is right for SeaCraft 23, any comments?

Craig, you would need a 30" shaft for a 23 ft Seacraft or 25" for twins.

John R · #26 09-28-2003, 11:24 AM

Craig - depends on your Seacraft. If it's stock and has not been raised, you'd likely have a 25" for a single or 20" if twins ...

Ed, I'll accept the challenge, but by the looks of it, I will be on the losing end of that race!!! I need a pair for myself. Of course, I could designate the course, and choose an ocean route in December during a Nor'Easter - I'll just use the Bertram....upwind.

Ed · #28 10-01-2003, 04:18 PM

Yeah.....I think 600 ponies behind a 23 Mako might just outrun your 25 Whitewater with 400 ponies. However, I think it would be very frightening....especially during a Nor'easter.

Speaking of Whitewater's....when I was in Nantucket in August...I saw an original looking 25 Whitewater CC with a bracket. The gelcoat was a dark chalky blue but a nice looking boat. It also gave me an idea as to HOW MUCH WORK YOU DID ON YOUR BOAT!...

Did you buy that 35' or so Bertie that you showed us on that canal in Ft Lauderdale??

Pics to follow, didn't buy the one I showed you, my friend picked that one up. I found another (46' Bertram) with a tower, recently majored,2 new gensets, new A/c, watermaker, and a pile of other goodies - problem is the cosmetics, but I happen to know someone who can deal with that......takes a bit of assimilation to keep chanting 20 knots, 20 knots, 20 knots 20 knots.. I got it up to 26 on the gps, but that was downwind, downsea in the Gulfstream coming back from Bimini (3 knots of current up the butt).

the whitewater is not going anywhere though. (and thats 450 ponnies, not 400)
