Great Site

[Banjo2]

Hello everyone, I just found this site a week or so ago and I'm really enjoying the wealth of knowledge that you folks put out there for folks like me. I run an old '75 23ft Sceptre that has been in my family since new. She started out with the 233 I/O, spent about 20 years with a Volvo Penta TD, and she's been happy with a FWC 350 Mag Horizon for the last six years. I'll try to post a few pictures of her last weekend just before I splashed her again after a good spring cleaning. I had the transome replaced during the last re-power, and the finish work wasn't anything to write home about, but other than that she's strong and looks great. I've got temporary panels in at present over the fuel tank, and the the cockpit storage locker, while I'm having the originals re-built, once that's done she'll be good as new.
Thanks again for the great site, and I'll be checking in often to see what's new in the Seacraft world.

Yes Sir, other than about 5 years at GA Southern back in the 80's, I've lived there since the late 60's.

Thanks guys, for the welcome. There are several old SeaCraft owners in the VA Beach area. It's always great to see them out on the water, and in my opinion they are still some of the best looking and performing rigs on the water. Mine has been in the water since new, only got her her first trailer with the most recent repower six years ago. She's only dry for about 3 weeks a year so I can paint the bottom and the like, and only then when the water temps drop below 40 and the rock-fish have headed south. She gets alot of compliments at the fuel pier and at waterside restaurants, and nobody can believe that she's 36 years old. With the full set of curtains up, it is definately one of the more comfortable small boats out in the ocean for the late season stripers, and at up to 39 kts, she'll get you home pretty quickly when you're done, seas permitting.
Thanks again, and I look forward to following the goings on here at the CSC website.

Welcome aboard! Here's another SeaCraft site you might find interesting. It covers the early days of SeaCraft's founding by Carl Moesly and all of his designs and racing heritage, up to the time that Bill Potter took over.

Keep an eye out for the "Gatherings" section. Given the number of members in the area, we should have a Mid-Atlantic gathering this summer. I really would like to meet some of the members and it's rediculous for us to let all the Florida and New England boys have all the fun! Talk it up when you see some of the SC owners on the water.
