Very Nice... you like the cuddy over your doghouse?, I like the dog house, or even a CC w bimimi better than the cuddy.

I could sleep in the cuddy when I'm in the dog house. it would a tough choice..I like them both...but would figure something out to put a hard top on the windshield job.

Looks nice is that a good boat has nice lines.maybe a little bit of a rocker.Looks like the hull got a make over.

You may be able to pick it up for around ten if it doesn't go anywhere...if gas price's weren't what they are it could go as high as $12.500.

a few stress crack's wouldn't worry me in the least. it's all fixable.

One of the finest hulls ever designed, run the snot and doesn't rock and roll much at rest. Probably also the most pilfered hull design since the evolution of the planing hull...

Steve - you see the blue one up last week? Purdy.... One of the days I'll turn a Tsunami/Sceptre into a Savage . This is kinda sorta a fugly one but it gets the point across...

red dang nabor brought home another 23 c/c twin 115's..purtyish teal green u ever saw..let's see that make's 1-20,,,2-23's,,,1-27.

my other nabor just towed home a 23 with a straight inboard..going to doghouse it out.

and this other fella I know just did the same thing as that red one, but straight inbrd. doghouse..but there's to much weight forward..having a hard time draining the water out. motor's mid-ships..gas tank forward and that cutty up front just isn't cutting it.

Steve, the guy where I make the left at the end of the road? What's he need 4 seacrafts for? Greedy ... I know a guy in Chatham looking to sell a 23 CC, with brand new power, electronics, and trailer. Perfect Condition, not a mark, scratch, stain, or crack on it, (he's wicked anal), think he's looking for the long dollar tho, I hit the lottery tomorrow night, I'm gonna buy it.

I bought a 19' 74' Stuery has similar lines.Not a cuddy CC.It has a nice deep leading edge.i thin i remember a friend of a friend got one o those on the cheap as it was a storm damage job rebuilt top to bottm nice ride totally dry in the slop.they never invited me back out on it since I outfished them 5 to one.My boat is old an tired but its a clasic it needs a dog house job.Wood an glass.Don't go well wit out proper matenince.lots of folks say fish it to death but thats not my style.

Tinman - you got a Seacraft?

For starters, check out ClassicSeacraft.com, good site with some members from here as well. 2nd, one of the guys on there, PipeDreamssomething is a marine welder in Jersey, his name is Don Battin, does some good work (little that I have seen) and supposedly is priced well and has done some work on the local SCs on the site...

I noticed the new one this morning also on my way into my shop in Commerce Park. Black, yellow, mint green. I'm waiting to see a plaid one there next

Friend I know also has an '84 (I believe) 23' Seacraft for sale. Extremely great shape, very well taken care of. T Top, electronics. He wants a good dollar for it tho
