7'6" at transom. I would need to pull a tape on the flare to give you a max width up front. Hull is 21' + bracket. Let me know if you need any other information.
Very little draft. Her dead rise is mid-ship and she is flat aft. My guess is she will float in 8 inches (+/-). Built to run very skinny but also capable of handling big water. Trim tabs let you push the nose over to take on rough water. Trim her up to run on the flat. Very versatile boat.
This design is a typical Core Sound skiff with lots of belly(which is why it rides bow high), no deadrise, and drafts very little. You very rarely see them of this quality due to the fact that theyre usually commercial boats.
What an awesome ride! If only I had the coin now.....maybe soon! These have to be few and far between.
What kind of performance numbers do you get with the 115 Yam.?
WOW!!
What year was she built and are you the original owner, any history and additional info you can provide would be appreciated. Sure looks like she could handle some pretty snotty seas. Do you feel the 115 is adequate, could she handle more power / weight at the stern or would that upset the balance she obviously has. I'm really intrigued with your boat. I love the classic workboat lines and wide carolina flair. I currently run an original 71 seacraft 20 sc , what a great riding hull. I had a 2006 grady cuddy I bought new and the ride can't compare to that of the seacraft. The hull design on your boat appears that it would be very stable on a drift. Is that the case? What's your opinion? Would love to see more pics of interior and hull.

Boat was built in 2008. The 115 is plenty on this hull. In fact, Harris figured a 90 would shove her to his liking but I wanted more power. A 150 would be too much weight.
I am selling to start on a bigger boat. I have two little girls that I want to get into fishing and I need something with a head and some shade.
When you get time for more pics - interior deck layout, console , elec's, storage etc. would be helpful. thanks for the info you've provided thus far. look forward to seeing them.

I saw this boat on Lake Murray in SC last summer. It was tied to a dock and every time I went up the lake I had to stop and admire the boat. Drop me a PM if you come back to LM this summer. I have some friends that may be interested.
great layout, nice access at stern compartment - are all topsides and deck non skid? what a beaut'
I really like this boat - working on options on my end I'll send you a pm soon
All top sides and decks are non skid. Stern box has room for some storage. Shelf over fuel cell under console for more storage. Huge storage with light in bow. Dual washdown ports: one aft, one at the console. All wiring buttoned up tight. Stainless tie down buttons on front deck for cooler.
It was a trailer a local dealer got stuck with when SeaPro boats went out of buisness. It was meant to hold a SeaPro 21 Bay. I bought it new from him. The trailer was built by WESCO in Columbia, SC. It is aluminum with a torsion (sp?) axle.
I have serviced bearing grease and replaced the tires in the last six months.
