Ok bro.....Whats up with the speakers and ice chest???? Is it to plug in your ipod or what?....Do tell........

Ok bro.....Whats up with the speakers and ice chest???? Is it to plug in your ipod or what?....Do tell........

It is a stereo cooler and it's badass. The only downside is it is not rigged to serve as both a cooler and a stereo. Inside the cooler you will find a lawn mower/atv battery, 180 watt 4 channel amp, and an aux input connected to the amp w/ rca hookup. Take whatever you would like iphone, ipod and you are set. The cooler provides a safe enclosure and excellent bass. It can be used all day and the battery has yet to go dead. Of course charging overnight is a must with a trickle charger.

Got some more work done on the pilot house this weekend.

digging up an old thread

I'm considering a 79 sceptre. the boat was originally an inboard but the engine has been removed. how much work and, more importantly, expense would it be to close the transom and add a bracket for an outboard? if the price of the boat is right, it may be worth it but I don't want to get in over my head. any and all opinions appreciated

upon some research, it seems that these boats have a good amount of wood in them. im equally worried about rot in a boat this old. for the guys who have done restorations, have you found any significant issues? i know this will be boat specific, just trying to get an idea what im getting involved in

Looking back at this thread...I guess I lied. Sold her to a THTer in Canada. Gary, please post a current pic.

First pics are my '89 21 Seacraft that was restored in 2009. (Sold)

The second set are my 2002 25..

what size suzuki on the 21? what was top and cruising speed?

what size suzuki on the 21? what was top and cruising speed?

I put a 225 on it... Was a huge mistake, waaayy to heavy for it. It was a great boat for the sandbar and race the triple engine boats with up and down the river. But was to back-end heavy to fish in any chop. Top end with an empty boat by myself was right around 60-62. The boat with all new floors and aluminum gas tank, barely weighed anything.

one of the fastest sea crafts ive heard of lol. sounds like the same boat with a 175 would be better for fishing in chop? always loved those boats.

how you compare your currect sea craft quality wise to the older ones?

The perfect set-up for those older 21's in my opinion would be a Yamaha 150 4-stroke.. Perfect weight and those motors are bullet proof. But as far as comparing, that is a huge discussion that could go for days. I liked my 21, but i think they did a top notch job on my 25. Mutch thicker glass work and finer lines inside (work wise).

Not a lot has changed other than the scenery. Really looking forward to getting this boat back in the water.....soon.

This thread is making me miss my seacraft. It should also be required reading for anybody who contributes to threads about "why people brag about old boats", of which the are many.


"Obsession", you've got my vote so far. I pimped mine out with wood too, nothing to that extent though. I had a little 18, changed every hatch to mahogany, as well as the anchor locker and console access in the front.

Heres mine. Decided today she could be for sale

This is a great thread. I've gotta go research SeaCraft now!

You sure that was a 21? She looks all the part of a 20'er, the 21 is a completely different hull..

Beautiful for an "old" broad! :)

The 23' inboards are awesome!

23 inboard

I am such a sucker for inboards and wood. My My.

My `89 20 sf. The 21`s were not made in these times. Early 21`s were a whole different animal and highly sought after. The later 21`s were cut down
Potter 23`s, and a damn fine hull. If you put heavy motors on the early hulls, you may have issues...like porpoising, wet feet, and disappearing hulls.

This hull is beleived to be a present from Carl Moesly to Mr. K. at lake X in appreciation for their continued passion and racing development work.
c. `67 or `68. If any of you have contacts from lake X back in the day, I would love to have some help chasing her history.

Cheers,
GFS

I believe you guys are referring to the longest of the 20' hulls, at 20' 4", but not the true 21'er that came out in the late 90's and was essentially a carbon copy of the 23' hull just 2' shorter

That 27 diesel is bad ass!!! I need to see more of that thing

1969 Seacraft, Pilot House from a Shamrock, re-powered in 2007 with a VP D6-350 Diesel.

That is one hell of a battle wagon. Please more pictures. Fantastic looking boat.

Thanks Guy's. I may have some pics on my old pc, I will have to dig them up. They may be on the Classic Seacraft website from a few years back. I am in the process of cutting down the casting platform and making the deck flush from front to back. The inside is finished commercial, not as fancy as the outside, but it is solid. The Transom Livewell holds 65 Gallons, the Fuel Capacity is 140 Gallons. The Pilot House seats four Comfortably and has heat. The Engine is Jack-shafted to the DPH and there is a hatch up front that can hold an 800lb Tuna. I will take new pics when I am done.

Flip the #`s.

Exactly. The 32 was my dream boat when I bought the 23. Of course, that was back in 2001 and the 32 seacraft was a mere $85k out the door.

Try buying a 32' anything for those #'s today.

That engine cover threw me for a loop. Have only seen that on 32's.

I was at the show yesterday. An Albury 20 was 68...

My 2001 20 master angler edition. Bought it used in 2007 with 40 hours on it. Replaced that top canvas last year changing from white to blue. I plan on keeping for a long time.

It scares me sometimes.

Don`t make me take you out to the wood shed...

I feel that the VDH hull has a lot of magic in her. We call it the ride.

Get up on top and put the hand down. Smooothsss right out. Splish.

Roads are leading to 505.

The last time I cruised up the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, I saw a SeaCraft docked in front of a waterfront building. I wish I had taken a better photo, but I think this gets across the idea. The building is the headquarters of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals < http://www.peta.org/ >).

Oh, trust me. I have much love for the SeaCrafts.

That engine cover threw me for a loop. Have only seen that on 32's.

:grin:

That was the exact engine cover from a 32. A $2k option at the time if my memory serves me right. Built like a brick sh*thouse, too.
