Fact of the day:

There were only 52 23' SeaCraft "SeaVettes" ever built. They started in 1978 and ended in 1979. So it's a pretty rare boat.

Yeah, but the original SeaVettes were 27' long. There were three 27' (yes, twenty-seven foot) Seavettes built by Carl Moesly as prototypes for the US government, back in 1968-'69. All three were powered by twin big-block Mercruisers. Carl didn't remember the installed HP. Because they were prototypes, they didn't make the official "production" inventory list. I understand the differences in the prototypes was in the setup for armaments. More than that Carl was not allowed to say.

I know what happened to one of them over in Africa. I'd love to know where the other two are now.
