Current RI registration and RI Title

This may be read as heresy by some ,but:
Built by Silver King in 1999, this hull and deck feature composite construction that is far superior to older hand layup Potter built Sea Crafts, or newer models with less sophisticated composite construction and lower quality systems and hardware. The hull topsides, decks, and covering boards are vacuum bagged PVC foam cored construction, with properly tapered core perimeters. All the slots between the core blocks are resin filled. The hull bottom is of solid laminate construction.

Note that the boat is being sold without the fishing gear and personal items shown in the photos.

During its comprehensive 2011 refit every effort was made to ensure high reliability and safety for inshore and offshore fishing. All pumps, hoses, and through hull fittings were changed, a new dashboard and windshield were fabricated, and all small gauge wiring terminations were updated with shrink tube sealed terminals. Battery cables were upgraded to 00 size.

Custom SS latch fabricated for the forward-center deck hatch so it will not open if there is lots of water in the boat. Original setup was un-latched so the hatch could open, flood the center compartment, and then drain into the bilges . Check the photo below.

All side and back curtains roll up fully out of the way
Bulb seals and foam tape at the curtain perimeters ensure watertight seals

SYSTEMS UPGRADES 2012:
All plastic through hulls fitting changed to GEMLUX SS fittings, including those for the forward in-deck fish boxes.
Proper anti-siphon loops installed in all bilge discharge hoses - original setups would back-flood into the bilges because there were no anti-siphon loops in the hoses.

Shurflo Blaster raw water washdown pump
Shurflo livewell supply pump
Rule 750 GPH cartridge type livewell drain pump

TOPSIDES GELCOAT AND BOTTOM PAINT DETAILS
This boat's topsides will not win a beauty contest.The original red gelcoat is tired and oxidized, and will not respond well to compounding or waxing. The deck/sole gelcoat is in excellent shape.
Once you run the boat on a rough day you will not care about the tired red gelcoat. I will negotiate a bit on price if you are a fanatic about exterior cosmetics and present me a credible bid for painting the topsides. Tuna and striped bass apparently do not care.

All the bottom paint was removed by sanding 2011
12 mils Interlux Interprotect 2000 barrier coat was applied under proper conditions
Two coats Micron CSC Extra - blue ablative AFP
Two coats Micron CSC Extra - black
2012 - 1 coat - black Micron CSC Extra
2013 1 coat - black Micron CSC Extra
2014 1 coat black Micron CSC Extra

SCUPPERS
1999 Silver King built Sea Crafts featured a very nice scupper system that drains a transverse gutter that spans the transom, but some of this model year's Seacrafts suffered from leaks around the injection molded scupper inserts, often at the joint between the hull liner and the transom's inside face.
The original scuppers have been removed, and replaced with WEST epoxy potted 3" diameter fiberglass composite tubes, sealed against water reversion with replaceable exterior rubber flaps.
