My uncle bought the first family SeaCraft in 1970, a 1969 20' Seafari originally powered by twin red-label Mercury 650's. Re-powered in 1973 with a Mercury 1500 by Frank Brown.
I partly owned that boat briefly in the early-mid 80's before selling my share back to my cousin when I bought a '77 23' SF in '84. Sold that in '85. Bought a '68 '27 Seamaster in '88 after it sank in my marina, but sold it after only a few weeks. No Seacraft for the next 11 years before buying another 20 Seafari O/B in 2000, then adding a 23' Tsunami in 2006. Sold the Tsunami in 2009, sold the Seafari OB in 2012 just prior to buying another 20 Seafari I/O in '13, and then adding an '18 SF in '17. I sold the Seafari in '17 to an elderly parishioner and then had it gifted back to me a year later, and I have since gifted it to my brother in Melbourne leaving me with just the '18. So, a total of 30 years of Seacraft ownership. I love them all.
