Default Re: Sea Craft 68 footer.....!!!!

Well,.......I've had the pleasure of fishing and running several of Jim's boats in the past, and I can tell you from experience. The ride is pretty incredible, they track and run down sea, quartering sea, and head sea like no other! Thees pictures do the boat no justice when it comes down to the angle of entry and also the deadrise at the transome. Keep in mind the boat is 68 feet long and has a beam well over 16 feet. Can't have to much angle in the rear, she would draw 8 feet of water if she did! Hey pipe dreams, I have a 42 Ricky Scarborough for sale. Is your friend still looking for a boat in that size range? She's all new from top to bottom with 450HP Cummins motors. Just completed a three year restoration.

Sorry to bring up this old post but these pics are not of the hull, but the house that will go on the hull which can be seen in the background. Otherwise everything else is true. A friend of mine fished on one called the "Huntress" and he said it was awesome.

They were at one point, I bet the website for F&S changed the tags sometime between now and then. The original pictures showed the hull being rolled over.

f&S Hull #8 ("True Grit") has been in Lauderdale this week. They came back in the inlet Sunday with the buggy top and upper control station of the tower sunday broken off and tied to the hard top....must have been "42 knots in 6-8' seas".....it has been rough last few days. that one has C-32A Cats and should do in the low 40s on the pins (knots, not Mph)....truly incredible boats.

If ya'll get a chance you should check out the F&S website. Awesome looking boats. They all cruise in the mid 30's topping out over 40 like other Tom states. Just incredible!
