I Need A Shrink !

[strick]

Thanks fellas....most of the guys on this board have been there and done that so they know the amount of effort and time that goes into one of these projects. It's no small undertaking that's for sure. The reward is great.

The boat has about 7.5 hours on it so far. Still waiting for my cushions for the V berth and the seat boxes. As mentioned earlier there are still lots of things to finish on her and I will post as I get things done but right now I'm taking a small break and trying to get some fishing done before the water temp drops too low.

Have fun with her, Chuck, you've earned it.

Strick, the boat looks amazing nicest Seacraft I've ever seen. How come you didn't put a bracketted outboard on?

Thanks. I take that as a huge complement considering some of the boats I've seen restored on this board.

I decided to go with what the boat came with in order to save $$$. The motor and out drive were already there. I have fantasized about twins on a bracket at times...maybe some day. I have had some private discussions with other members on the board that have the same boat. There are CG issues with this hull design but I think it would work.

Posting this in hope that Strick still roams the forums here. I was lucky to buy Strick's 25 a couple years back. I added radar, some extra bait capacity, new heads and props, but overall she was just fine the way she came. We have caught tuna, marlin, seabass, dorado, yellowtail etc. on her during this past El Nino year. She makes the trips to the Channel Islands a breeze and looks great on the mooring in Avalon. I am hopeful to get ahold of the build pics that used to be posted on this thread, but they look to be pulled down. And by the way, we simply named her "Seafari". Seemed to fit best.

Here is a pic of what she looks like today. Thanks to Strick for making her look this way...

Pajaro, excellent name - befitting for sure, nice to see more pics of her. Perfect for the Channel Islands indeed.
Keep on posting...

Wow, that is a beautiful ride. I would love to have one but I am just not up to getting involved with such a project..... Though I probably should.

The options for power and format are streaming through my head. I wonder how one would perform with a modern diesel I/O or a pair of new 200 4 cylinder Zukes. When thinking of a small island hopper for the future it seems very appealing.

Kenny, Raton de la Bilge can fix you up. A Little north of Atlanta in that big lake.
That would "test the vows" with Mel. I'll stand by down here for the sonic boom!
