Life after a SeaCraft ?

Hey Snookerd, I know a guy who has a Contender 35 side console, and have been out on it a couple of times. My observations, compared to a SC 23. 1. It's a big boat - wide and long, and trailering would be much more of an ordeal. He wet slips his. 2. It handled 2-3' choppy stuff with ease, cruising around 30. 3. Interesting layout, the guy and his GF use it a lot, weekending, 3-4 day cruises in the Exumas, snorkeling and just getting away from civilization. Has a gen and AC. 5. He stepped down from a larger sporty, and absolutely loves it. 5. It felt & seemed pretty solid. Good luck!

Bmaj-Nice! Thanks for the information.....Unplugging from the world is the thought and the Exumas are high on the list. The 35 seemed to be the better offshore boat with gen, a/c, ect. vs. the WA/Cuddy Intrepids. Not a good boat drifting in a sea though.
