After trying three times the guys finally punched ahole 410 feet.. Will be hooking up water for the house sat. And picking up new used boat..i know i am not right in the head.. Atleast tha is what my wife says

Not having water sucks....it can mess with your head....maybe that's what happened?

My well pump broke several years ago and it took about 4 days to get it diagnosed and fixed. Neighbor let me run a hose from his house to ours. Having to replace the whole casing is bad. Good luck. Was it a seacraft?

My old casing was a 2" galvanized this is a 4" with submersable 2 the amount of water... Not bad for the price probably could have got her cheaper but this guy is a local and like to keep the money here.. no Seacraft..40' lurhs. Bank repo ...my 20 will be the tender for it

Dang 400+ ft up in Panama City...
Well here at Area 442 is 115ft. 4 inch case with SS submersible!
Have a shallow back-up well off of the barn.
Made sure when we built the house I can throw a
couple of gate valves and back feed the house in an emergency..
I know how you feel strick & martin, No water, no fun!!
People make fun of my water treatment plant when they see it..
Iron filter, chlorinator, softner with salt tank, filters on top of filters...
It does the job though.. I love the slimy soft water feel..
Hard water just does not cut it!!

Oh yeah, back on subject, project being put on hold stinks..
Getting a 40ft. Luhrs should off set the pain..
Hopefully you can back to the Seacraft sooner..

I dont know if i am seeing things or i amjust crazy , but okay it has been acouple months since i cut stringer and hull apart and out.. As i was backing out and looked at the bow it looked like the keel to bow point was a bit twisted . I have heard that you need to keep tension on the bow eye. But didnt think that the hull would actually twist in that manner .. Has anyone experience twisting in keel

It has a very detailed description of the laminate schedule (number of layers of glass and type/weight of each layer) that will give you a good idea of how these hulls were built - there is a lot of glass in them in exactly the right spots.

Denny,

How does one download the PDF's, so an "Old Goat" can blow them up?

Charles,

Doesn't look like all the articles are in PDF format. They apparently used some other type of file for the website on many of the articles that can't be downloaded, maybe for copyright reasons? Only the articles that have the "Click HERE to download" statement below them appear to be PDF's.

I do have a PDF of the Seafari 20 article that I can send if you PM me with an e-mail address. I also have a PDF of a similar Boating Magazine test of the 23 Sceptre, featuring twin O/B and twin I/O versions. Denny

Thank You,

My email is listed on my user info, but it is old_goat@bellsouth.net.

I would appreciate any info on that old boat I had, as I never really knew just how special it was till now.
