Do any of you guys remember a boat listed as a 25 seacraft for sale on boattrader . . . around 2004. I swear it was the 505 race boat.

I just reread the post on offshoreonly.com 202 was driven in the 1968 Bahamas 500 by Jim Tebo and Steve Sirois.

Big-That 25 was discussed here on CSC. It was in the St. Pete area if I recall. It was red. Sound similar?

Great pictures; love the third one of the 21 launching of that 5 footer. Makes me want to take my T-top off and go play. 9 - 11's forecast for later on today

Hi Frank. Frank Brown's Marine (I'm guessing that was your Dad) built my small Merc race motors when I raced small F & G hydros in the late 60's, and later in '83 rebuilt my XS1500 Merc and converted it to a long shaft motor, which I then put on the back of my 1st Seafari 20'. At the time, I was the Tow Boat Captain (later dockmaster) for Waterway Marina in Palm Beach Gardens, right across the street from Brown's Marine.
Also built the Merc 1500 I put on the back of a 14'11" Cacci Craft Speedster. Never got to actually race that one, I got airborne once without throttling back fast enough and threw a rod right through the dashboard.
