A few years ago when the 24 Silverhalk came out I was told that they had bought the old hull design of the classic 23 Seacraft. Is this true? I have people saying it is and people saying it's not.

Rip Runner 02-21-2003, 09:55 PM Thanks for the response and confirming what I thought. The Jack*ss saleman at the Boston boat show for Silverhalk heard my talking to a friend about the boat and said I was 100% wrong and that it's a totally different design. He was very rude about it as well. This guy was so much of an ass, that I had to walk away. I do agree that they are sweet boats and would probably take one over a Seacraft because they have a nice straight inboard with a Yanmar diesel option. JohnR 02-21-2003, 10:21 PM There was one of the silverhawk builders at THT saying that it was a design they put 900 hours into and contrary to popular belief, wasn't a "splash" of a 23 SC. BS, looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck.... But its a very nice duck :) I do like the 236 Sailfish too - not as nice but a lot less money...

Got to take off slower thats for sure. He has had it 4 years now I think, and it has been great!! Wish I had the $$$$$$$ for one.
