Good Luck with her.. I like the slice of her bow. Outta cut through the snot really well.
Now the fun really begins.
For example.........
I have put the past two weekends (both days) working
on the boat. Seems I always want more/better stuff.
Finished the hydraulic steering saturday, and put the furuno 6100 in on sunday.
Still not quite done though.
Have a couple of small issues to deal with b4 I put in the slip.
Like owning a freakin home,,,,,the work never ends.  |

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Great ride John. Father owned one before moving to Florida. Saw it a few years back in Greenwich Cove(name- Jus Lookin'). Still a sharp looking boat. Handles the rough stuff easily. A single 235 is more than enough juice for that rig. Could you give me the name of the boat hauling firm that delivered the boat? I'm buying my Dad's 20' C-Hawk to use in Narragansett Bay area. Great $$. Just have to get it up here from FL.

Raven - no name, stuck between two and I haven't decided yet... No champagne - fishguts
Bass Time - thanks! I'll keep an eye out for that boat. The hauling company was HCTransport http://hctransport.com out of Marion Mass. The price was better than anyone else by far - service was good too once he was able to schedule me in.
You'll need a facility down there that can forklift or travellift the boat onto the trailer and he can bring it to a place you designate or back to his yard.
Ask for Gregg Amaral and tell him that John that just got the Seacraft referred you.

my first boat & striper back in 67
All i had was a skiff rowboat then , so i clamped on a keel , a piece of driftwood plywood I found on the beach and made a sail out of old lumber and a bed sheet. I went trolling in -> aucoot cove in mattapoisett heading towards Marion point and bird island (all covered in oil i heard) and zig zagged around the rock piles. I caught several blues and finally hooked up a huge striper that towed me halfway to bird island with two foot white caps . I saw that fish several times up close and it was at least 4 feet long really mad and mighty scary lookin.
Eventually drifting almost a mile from shore , i fought a little too hard on my light tackle and got snapped off.
Jimmy Craig of hockey fame, a goaly for the Boston Bruins, had to rescue me and tow me in with his dad's boat which was lucky because i was nearly into the stronger current of the shipping lanes. It was like the old man in the sea experience for me, and i was the won who actually got hooked. true story !  |

Sandman - "intertidal anguiologist" is something I made up that is supposed to sound like a fancy version of Eelslinger along the waters edge - well supposed too anyway. The certifiable is because my wife things I'm nuts/obsessed about fishing. Don't know what she means though...
Raven - BB is not where you want to be in a homemade turnabout - any idea what JC is up tp these days? |

yeah you're right john.
buzzards bay is a mess.... Jim Craig whom i havent spoke too in many years: ->last i heard is working for a communications company somewhere in mass. I didnt even know he was playing for the bruins until i saw the Russians play the Bruins and he was draped in the American Flag. He looked familiar and then i saw Hoppy his older brother and Mr craig both heading for the ice and never was so proud in my life being way up in the mountains of the desert in Southern California at the time.

The transom is a 25" but the motors are 20" shafts. You run a smaller shaft with twins as the engines are offset from the centerline. I could buy a 5" leg extension kit but that's a little shy of a grand too. Still haven't decided... There also could be an ins premium increase for a 70mph boat  |
