I've never seen it out of its slip either.

That's Paul Cuddy's Boat, he is a really nice guy. He had it for sale a few years back, but rather than give it away he kept it to take is Grandson Fishing. To him that's worth it, even I he uses it once a year. I believe he told me the story when he bought it. It was left over from the Boston Boat show in 1985 and he bought it in 1986. I remember the boat at the Boston show when I bought my first Seacraft, a 1985 23' I/O. I really wanted the 27, but could not afford it at the time and it only came with 2-stroke outboards. So you can imagine, that 27 Seacraft has been part of his life for almost 30 years, it would be difficult for him to part with I am sure. I think there is as much chance of him selling his 27, as there is for me selling mine

What a dive boat that would make! I can just see it with a low profile wrap around windshield and a Tsunami style helm pod and hard top. It would probably be the only major refit project I would ever consider.....

Would make an awesome dive boat.

This one was a little more in my price range:

Taking on a $60k project right now could make married life a little difficult. When the nest clears out I will have the time and funding to start a new way to make money disappear.

Is the one in the CL link a super fish model of a tournament model? Also have you looked at it and what is the condition of her. I have been thinking about getting one and fully restoring the race boat back original. If I do this I will need another boat for my offshore trips. I love Todds but it is like you said out of my budget.

It's not the tournament so I assume it is the SF. I haven't gone and looked at it yet as I am too scared I will buy it. The trailer alone looks worth the cash but from what I understand the floor has issues and considering the age of the hull you have to assume the worst and consider it a full restore for the most part.

If this thing sticks around a few months I may be in trouble !!!!! My nest is less than a year from chicks learning to fly on their own and this could fill a spot on the Size list !!!
