Default 1975 Master Angler

Bought the Hull and Trailer for $800 from the original owners family who happens to my friend. It had been sitting/rotting in his fathers yard for the past 8-10 years. Had no idea what it really was till I got onto this site. I'm very excited and have started a complete rebuild with my father. Putting an older Johnson 140 VRO on the back... Trimming the console width down by 6" and adding coffin cooler to the front of that. Replaced the Gas Tank, Gutted the Gunnel and the rotted out wood... Re-glassed all of that already. Started re-glassing some of the stern areas as well... New Deck and a Paint Job and she will be ready to be re-assembled sooner rather than later... I live in RI, got the boat in Jamestown. My late grandfathers nickname was Nipper, So I gave it a New England twang and she will be called Nippah...

Whoops, I'm late for roll call. 1970 Seafari 20' restoration project, originally a Merc 125 outboard, expect to go to a modern 150 when the time is right.

Default 1977 SeaCraft SF 23

1977 SF 23 here.
I bought this boat in 2004 in Pompano Beach. It was rigged with a carbed 200 Mercury Offshore and sat on its original aluminum trailer. I believe I am the 3rd owner. The transom had previously been replaced.
Upon purchase I added a custom aluminum T-Top from Boca Tops with electronics box. The hull has never been bottom painted, and has the original console and teak throttle base.
I ran that 200 for eleven more years and I estimate (conservatively) about another 3000 hrs before it was time to retire.
In 2014 the hull was stripped of all hardware and the slowly expanding soft spots by the bow eye, front casting platform and starboard deck by the console were recored. The and all new stainless hardware and rod holders were installed (not before every hole was properly epoxied) and the cockpit and decks sprayed with Awlgrip Matterhorn White. A new stainless rubrail replaced the 38 year old original.
I repowered in 2015 with a "new" 2012 Merc 200 Optimax. I think it is a good match for the hull, lightweight and plenty of torque. She sips fuel at cruise and tops out in the high 40s. Good enough for an old girl.
After receiving estimates for painting the hull, I opted to wet sand her and buff her out. I swear that gelcoat shines like new.
