20' Seafari: The Resurrection

[FLexpat]

Dogbomb - Just got back from a week on the San Juan arm of Lake Powell - really hope to see your 20 there someday. I haven't seen a single SC there.

Capt Terry - We did tow sports all day long in smooth fresh water and only saw 5-6 other boats each day til we got back nearer the marinas. Pretty incredible there for playing.

NICE! Been retired almost two years. Interruptions have affected boating frequency. But it's wonderful to avoid weekend boating & all the wakes! Can usually find a smooth enough section on Lake Hartwell, SC. Once in awhile dead flat- particularly fun for slalom or footing!

Excellent! Can't beat Powell for flat water and lots of it.
You'll see me there next fall, provided the Gods of SeaCraft
restoration are kind to me.

After much soaking in good ol' Marvel Mystery Oil, the big Johnson
finally freed up. Sadly, at least two rings broke in the process, and
the motor is headed for that big eBay round up in the sky.

Pulled the motor yesterday with my trusty cherry picker, and
prepared myself for the process of parting her out.
Goodbye ol' Johnson!

The second picture shows what happens when a sawzall falls into
the wrong hands. Could the PO (not you, John) have made any worse
of a job of hacking up the motor well?

I cut a piece of Starboard and will cover this mess later when I have
a new motor in place.
