SeaCraft price increase?

[flyfisher]

i read this site allot but very rarelly log on but this question really is a good one.part of the reason is the lines.
the seacrafts have very pleasing lines. the ride is good , but not any better then
any other boat with the same amount of dead rise. i have ridden in many many hulls, and seacraft despite what
some would say, is no better then allot of other boats. why one of any thing catch's peoples eye will all ways be
a mystery. but this site has helped the seacraft gain in popularity. same goes for the mako. how many other
boats can you find info on for older models as well as sites on classic models? not many. examples of better
riding boats are palmetto, centender, regulator and albamarlo. all out standing rides. i see parker going that way.
but getting back to this site. i have seen to many here that think the boat they bought for $3000 or even less and now having put hours and hours of work on try to push the envelop. so again who is trying to fool who? every one tries to
get as much for their boat as they can but some here have gone farther then what is reasonable. so who is to
blame? i personal love the looks of a seacraft. but i will never pay what some are asking for those older boats.
as to them being better then the new ones. i don't think so. look how many older seacrafts need new transoms. i
see more older makos then any other boat and very very few need transoms replaced. the new seacrafts are built
every bit as good as the older ones if not better do to technology improvements. so this thing about them not
being built as well isn't true. just take the factory tour if you don't believe me. you will come away impressed.
i'm looking for a 23 ft cc. for when i retire and move to the coast. my 20 ft mako has been a good boat, but no
one i want to run off shore in. i would love to have a seacraft. but will not pay the price when i can by any
number of very good boats for a whole lot less. i also can do most of the work any of them would need. but i'll
buy a boat at a more reasonable price and have less work and just as good a boat. as for your question. i think it
was a very reasonable one to put to this site and am interested in see what other think.
