Seacraft

[Bikecop1]

I saw that one when it came up. I would say 500 to 1000 in that condition. Plan on a transom at the minimum. I knew going into mine that I would be doing the transom and floors plus whatever else. I traded a rifle for mine. It’s registered as a 74 but from what I’ve been able to ascertain is it’s about a 69 model.

Sergiman-
Notice the more swept windshield than Bikecop's. I believe the swept windshield started about '74 and my '76 Seafari has it. I couldn't determine from your photo if the one in your pic has a black rubber rub rail & insert like mine. Thought I had special ordered in that way, but just noticed it was not listed on my sales order, so maybe by then it was standard. Earlier models had an aluminum piece in the rub rail which was not as energy absorbing and left damage more easily on the gunnel from piling collisions.
My transom was wet but did not show much signs of damage except the aluminum trim piece around the engine cutout did not match anymore where the horizontal piece contacts the other pieces. Another good way normally to examine the transom is to bounce up and down on the AV plate, and observe or measure deflection in the aft sheet, but with no engine can't do. Better to plan on a transom redo now or in the future. One way to postpone a transom redo is to attach an angle bracket like 2" x 2" x 1/4" on the inside of the transom from nearly stringer to stringer which has the lower engine bolts clamping it in place.
Best wishes, the Seafaris are well loved by their owners
