I remember the Conch Cove fire. Sad so many were destroyed in addition to yours. Thx for reply.

Terry, I think you might have the record.
Chuck-that’s an incredible run at 33 years.

My first year of ownership was 2001…. 2 1/2 decades later! My parents purchased an 18 SF (their first SeaCraft) in the late 90s based on my advice. it took me about 20 years from my first ride as a 12-year-old kid on a 20 SF in the Loxahatchee River in northern Palm Beach County to buying my first boat here on the West Coast to Florida in 2001. That ride in 1982 closed the deal for me.

I remember the Conch Cove fire as well! What a tragedy. As a kid buzzing around in my 14 foot alumacraft with 25 horse Johnson, I remember pulling up multiple times and walking around The waterfront at the burned down marina. There were 235 Evinrude engine cowlings sitting half burnt on the concrete ground right next to the water. The place smelled of burn fiberglass.

In 1976 before kids we purchased our 20’ Seafari, to troll offshore of PB, ski and snorkel. Our son and daughter grew up doing these, but more watersports. In the last three years we have introduced our two grands to these watersports during their summer visits. We, our kids and grands just celebrated one of our best vacations where we rented a SC home for a week on Lake Hartwell. The boy 7 and girl 9, quickly progressed to riding a kneeboard on their knees instead of belly boarding, and skied easily off of our boom. One of the long lasting memories will be towing my grandson on a kneeboard through a school of herring. He exclaimed “one fish hit me in the face and I had to knock a couple off my board”. It was a combo of fight and delight for him. So thanks to our SeaCraft for continuing to provide pleasure and great memories!
