kernaltugboat's 27 SeaCraft

[BigLew]

On 137, you said. Is there another SeaCraft in the drive? I've driven by there for many years and have noticed a smaller one as well, I think. The house and the boat are on the left going south to Rt. 28 about a mile befor you get to 28.
I've been going to Chatham for more years than I care to admit; started in '55! My brothers forced me to sell the old place down on Howes Lane at Harding's. I talk to them, but not about the Cape. My wife and three kids don't like not having the place either.

Yes, thats my dad's house. (2.3 miles from exit 11) I live next door (with all the Whalers in the back). I sold the small one, but there will be three, possibly 4 Seacrafts there this summer (My brother is looking at a Sceptre). People have come to the door several times, figured we were a Seacraft dealer. I am never home, but my dad is usaually there, if he is not fishing.

Kernaltugboat,

I used to drive by the boats everyday!! I knew she was the won when I saw the yellow next to her!! I've stoped by last summer(i think they all seem to blend together) and talked with your father for a while!! Nice guy he told me how the boats have been all over the country, maybe world tuna fishing !! I can't remember. Well it's good to see the boat with a face lift!!!!

Boat getting set up like a 23 CC.

Kernaltugboat's 27 SeaCraft is a super-sized 23. I don't recall any conversation on the 23 and 27 likeness, but after looking over the hull of the 27, it's pretty obvious. I was thinking about Mark's post ......

Having spent a lot of time in SeaCraft 23's and owning a SeaCraft 20' I'll just say that they have little in common other than manufacturer.

kernaltugboat's project makes the two hulls look the same, while the 18 and 20 are their own animal.

Trident, take a look at the pics of my Dad's "Hawaiian" SeaCraft in the pics section. I think it'll be of interest to you. Aloha, Greg

Hey Dan, how you doing? Hope all is well. Any more progreess/pics of the boat? Take it easy, Greg

Hi Greg,

Work keeps getting in the way of progress, I was in Italy for a while. I have all the Electronics,switches, steering, shifting, etc mounted. Today I will do the rod holders and the thru-hull transducer and run the hydraulic steering lines (As soon as the rain stops) I will also find a place for the "Cabin Heater" You may not be familiar with that term, it is a device we put inside the cabin to keep warm !!! hahaha... As soon as I get my camera charged back up, I will send some pics. Still hope to get it in for Tuna Season this year, but I am running out of time. I will post fuel burn and performance numbers as soon as I can.

Hey Dan,

Sounds great. Wow, Italy. Did you get to check out any fishing vilages in Italy? It's pretty crazy how they go out and surround the blue fin with their purse nets and wooden skiffs then club them and pull em' into the boat half alive! Out of curiosity what do you do for a living? Must be nice to travel international for work. Look forward to seeing your progress. I have been doing alot of drafting and design for my dad's boat. We got the new transom in and decided to bond another 3/4" ply to make it 3 boards vs. 2. Take it easy, Greg

BTW when is tuna season for you guys? Must be during the winter on nice days? I am glad that our tuna season is during the summer. Then again you guys get Bluefins and the other exotic tuna's. All we have are Yellowfin, Bigeye and Albacore on occasion.
