Re: Contender vs. SeaCraft on THT
Yikes!
Though, that does seem to be a typical thread for over there.

Re: Contender vs. SeaCraft on THT
very typical THT
my favorite (keep in mind I owned a 1999 25 Contender for 4 years) "if you are trying to say the 20 deg transom deadrise seacraft will ride as good as the 24.5 degree contender in the slop i think you are just wishing. the deep v entry of the seacraft giving way to a fairly flat transom has it's roots in the early jersey skiffs (i'm guessing)" Jersey skiff:  Seacraft:  Crackpipe:

Re: Contender vs. SeaCraft on THT
Crack pipe...I think I just soiled my pants I was laughing so hard!!!
 There are always the "X boat vs. Y boat" threads on THT and inevitably they end up spiraling downward into a p!ssing match. If people would just weigh in on a subject when they know the facts, this crap wouldn't happen.

Re: Contender vs. SeaCraft on THT
Fairly flat tramsom?
 Has he ever seen the transom on a Seacraft? They are anything but flat. Now an Ocean Yacht has a "Fairly" flat transom.

Re: Contender vs. SeaCraft on THT
I have a friend that's a serious Tuna fishermen. He had a brand new Contender and sold it and reconditioned a 23 seacraft for serious Tuna fishing offshore on Cape Cod. Now I've never owned a Contender and understand their great boats, but the guys that are serious about fishing around here, with or without the money to lay down for a new boat seem to go with a Seacraft if they can get their hand on one!

Re: Contender vs. SeaCraft on THT
Trayder, cool shot of the skiff. Attending Mt. Dora (Fla.) show this weekend. Largest/First Antique and Classic Boat Society of the year. May be biggest assembly of skiffs in a very long time. If anyone has time check out www.speedskiffs.com, Boats By Name, senti-MENTAL-value. Parts I and II. Webmaster has very cool home page set up for the event. Four rigs leaving a strip mall Sat. morning from Jersey, with narrative. Pretty funny.
Final rigging and packing tomorrow. Leaving Wed. morning. Prop testing Thurs. and games rest of the weekend. Anyone in the area stop in. Very cool quaint town with plenty of antiques and shopping. I will be solo, but the girls all seem to dig the shopping. (Plug, Plug) Anyway the weather looks good. JS-44 Puppy Love (webmaster) has a photo similar to above, and since most of us here are all old enough to remember pinball machines, his bottom is painted with big red letters "TILT". Check it out. Some cool videos, too. By the way, if the winds kick up, with correct direction, I will show any classic SeaCraft owner all of the similarities between your ride, and the amazingly smooth ride of a true flat bottom! Holy Crap! BTW, Does anyone have a small engraved plaque that sits at eye level, on the dash, in front of your rider, that clearly states,"Get in, sit down, shut up and hold on"? LMAO! Part II.
