All joking aside, the Seacraft boats you have sold are beautiful and well done, unfortunately not everyone sees the beauty and compares it to a 2016 Nauticstar or some other boat that is selling for 50k but doesnt have near the quality or build that a Seacraft does.

True.
Everyone wants the quality and the toys, they just don't want to pay for it.
Almost to a "T", I have had to "cheapen" the boats up. Take off the Foo Foo.
Steering wheels (sentimental value), TUCCI Top, etc.
And almost to a "T", after purchase, they come back for the Foo Foo.
On the Contender I did, the new buyer went back with what I took off, granted smaller engines, but almost all the "other" stuff.
All that fancy stuff comes at a cost. There is a big difference between an Igloo cooler and a roll out Frigid Rigid.
All of the "little details" we do, cost money to do. People assume because that I am in the business it is free or cost a fraction of what it cost. Not so.

Anyway, thank you all for the compliments.
Kinda nice to not get beat up. Yet. :-))))

Seems like most of my boat moneys have been spent on power, electronics and duty specific items... and that has been plenty.

Sooo, my question was, where are all these request coming from?
That's some good news . . . You need to call the people and do some digging/fishing for info. It sounds like you may have reached an audience (with money) that really appreciate these boats. Are they all 20Ft restores? or 23's too?

Currently we have a 20'.
Proposals are split, three of the 20's and three of 23's with the phone still ringing.
I haven't seen it this hot since the downturn.
Somebody know something I don't?

I'm coming out your way on the 11th.
Flying to SF, then driving to Santa Cruz.

Nice to hear from you.

Hark, he lives!

Hey Sandy, I think this is your alter ego on "the other site".

Where is my pointy hat?
Evidently, you have to have saved the approved proxy to access
the complaint box.

I didn`t know that.

Not Dan`s fault at all.
He is new there.
He was hoping to sell shirts n stuff.

If anyone should do that time,
it should be me.

I think I may have learned what a sock puppet is.

How do you legislate humor

Without Warner Bros, I would have little culture.
