Re: VDH Hull on Sailfish Boats
Not sure what qualifies as Classic, but Sailfish has been around for 20 years. And they hardly compare to a Palm Beach or Key West, thats like comparing a SeaCraft to a SeaRay. Piss poor construction and much cheaper boats.
Hey guys, is it only o.k to voice an opinion if the subject is how great a SeaCraft is? Nothing wrong with a little controversy to me, and the subject could be debated for years, so its obvious we have drawn sides and can keep arguing. No one ever wins this debate. I never said there was anything wrong with a classic SeaCraft, or this site. Not sure why there are no other similar site except for makybe classicmako, but if it wasn't for Jason, you guys would have no place to toot your horns. There are some amazing boat that have been re-done by members on this site, Stricks, Ottos and Capt. Chucks to name a few are all evidence of the beauty of these boats. But there are things wrong with them too - they don't drain properly (didn't earn the nickname Sinkcraft for nothing) - and transoms and decks consistently failed on the old boats to name a few. And to bring you back to reality the "classics" are still being built but I'd bet none of you hard core guys would dream of buying a newer boat. And why not? How do they match up to current manufacturers, same hull design?

Re: VDH Hull on Sailfish Boats
Let me put it to you this way. Yeah we have all replaced
transoms, decks, re-designed the way they drain, etc, etc. But let us all see how that magnificent Sailfish of yours looks after 30 or 40 years. I will bet money in that amount of time nobody is going to want to restore it. Mosley and Potter were way ahead of there time when they designed and built our boats. Todays technology enables us to make our Classic SeaCrafts the best they can be. Next time you wanna make a crossing to the Bahamas in a 6ft sea with that wonderfull Sailfish, Let us know. My 35 year old 20SF of which I have INVESTED $30,000 is still doing it and in one piece. So take your whiny, debating ass some place else. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] See ya, Ken

Re: VDH Hull on Sailfish Boats
"Driving big boats doesn't give anyone knowledge of the intricacies of fluid flow dynamics"
Neither does running a calculator!But if you had ever spent anytime at sea you sure as hell would of felt your "fluid dynamics" under your feet.Not much of that with your feet under a desk I suppose! SeeYa,Joey
