Frank G. Brown III, 07-06-1934 - 06-02-2010
My father passed away on June 2nd. Dad touched many people in the South Florida boating community, having been in the Boat Business for over fifty years as a dealer for various brands of boats and motors, as well as a boat builder.

Frank,
Sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Clearly, based on the number of folks on this thread alone, he had a huge impact on the performance boating and SeaCraft scene. Cherish the memories, and Godspeed, Mr Frank Brown III. Thanks for sharing some of that history with us. Best wishes to you and your family.

Very sad news ... and so sorry for your loss.
My father always considered your father as one of the best dealers SeaCraft ever had. He also knew his Merc engines & could practically recite the manual.... had a problem? he knew how to fix it. When I bought our Bowrider, I remember Frank telling me how he used to fill the front cockpit with water & let you young ones play in it while he fished. He leaves behind many memories. Carla

I`m sorry to hear this. I hear the fishing is always good, your motor runs fine, and you don`t even need a trailer.
Mark was kind enough to walk me around the VDH Hybrid 27 out of the mold last fall. Very interesting. Saw it in the slip this year at the show on Friday. Amazing numbers and very pretty. Sorry Mark wasn`t there `til Saturday. They lived in a window when anyone could compete. Even ladies.  Remember him well and often.Cheers, GFS

Fishing is good in heaven.
Mark Hauptner`s new Ocean Master 27 is sweet. Run watcha brung was lots more fun than corporate sponsorships. My english teachers used to flag me for "flowery prose". Guess I still haven`t learned. Cheers, GFS
