Re: Atlantic City Charter Recommendations
Chris,
Hope all is well with you. Here are a couple of ideas. First, there is a very informative Southern NJ fisherman's web site called http://www.thebassbarn.com. If you look at the web site, you will see a number of boats advertised that should fit the bill. Second, either Finster or Don B should be able to come up with some recommendations. After all, Atlantic City is in their backyard. Stoney may hae some ideas as well. Good luck. Peter

Re: Atlantic City Charter Recommendations
Look for the Atlantic Star out of Kammermans Marina in AC- been in the area for many years-I think its a 46 or 48 Viking.

Re: Atlantic City Charter Recommendations
To all, thank you very much for the replies. This is a bunch of college buds that don't share my enthusiasm for a canyon overnighter.
Capt. Chuck, thank you for the kind words. I actually kept the SeaCraft out of the water this season. Some family medical issues would have kept me from using/fishing her much, so have decided to take this as an opportunity to do something really stupid like a total restoration/refit. I may be calling upon you and others here soon for advice on that. Peter, thanks for the advice - will definitely check out the bassbarn as well. Hope the new boat is all you hoped it would be. Oz - am googling for that one now. If available that would fit the bill perfectly. Regards, Chris

Re: Atlantic City Charter Recommendations
Peter,
You are making me blush with all the nice things said about my boat. To answer your question, thinking of doing what I've been putting off for several years, pulling the boat apart to redo decks (wet core), transom (wet core), stringers (wet foam), paint, etc. Goal would be to bring it structuraly and cosmetically back to/better than new. To that end, I am open to any and all advice from CSC members who have been there/done that. Unfortunately, I lack the skills most of you have, so will be having most of the work done professionally.

Re: Atlantic City Charter Recommendations
Chris, I also like to drool over your boat.
 Did you come up with the name as a result of it having the ole big block?My Seavette has the big block as well, and I was going to name it "Wet Rat", however I think that I have settled on "Nauti-Rat".

Re: Atlantic City Charter Recommendations
The name has been the same since 1979 when we bought the boat new (1978 leftover - party that placed order for the boat didn't take delivery, so we traded in our 20' SeaCraft center console). Original power was an OMC sterndrive with a 305 block, 230hp. Though a bit underpowered, the decks were much drier then. Not too wet now (unless you've got more than one guy in a cockpit corner), but I keep so much stuff in the cabin I think it acts as a good counterweight. I'm planning on addressing this with work to be done.
Also, do like the "Nauti-Rat".
