222 s/n’s between yours and mine. Per the literature section, 398 Seafari’s were built in total through 1972. I’d bet it’s a 68-69.

Pretty impressing that the pop-out windshield still functions as it's intended. I don't recall them ever being used or moved on my '77, and I'm afraid all the plastic bits are brittle as hell... It's on my to-do list however! I'm jealous!

John- guess in Long Island must not get warm enough to use the tilt out windshield. In Fla and SC I use it more often than not. Also great on anchor with Bimini up, to grab the breeze. Hope you can get it working.

Can’t look at them right now. Pretty sure my marinium hardware has a WC on them for Wilcox Crittendon. Guess they could have outsourced the casting to China, but would doubt it in that era. About 20 years ago was reviewing China casting dimensional results for parts for industrial gas turbines. They weren’t very good! But would be good enough for rod holders

Great project - best of luck. Keep us in the loop on the refit - we don't see many Seafaris brought back from the dead!

Very nice indeed. It will be worth the effort to get her all fixed up.

Bleach and a good pressure wash and you will be good to go...Nice find!

Anyone know what this part is? Dont have the boat close right now to inspect. It is on the port side.

Transducer for depth sounder/fish finder. The fairing block that it sits looks like it needs some help though. Nice boat and best of luck with it!

So in doing research I'm finding that my vintage toilet used a pickup for water on the starboard side and a discharge on the port side, sooo i guess Ill be removing the toilet when i get to it. Is that the way these operated? Dont think the DNR will appreciate that.

Even though it is not "environmentally friendly" I was told once that you are grandfathered in with what you have unless you change it out. Weather or not it is true im not sure.
