Default SeaCrafts in strange places

Let's face it. The name of the boat design is SeaCraft. But that's not always where you find them.

I took my Seafari up the Withlacoochee River the other day, and also up into the Rainbow River. Both rivers are fairly shallow, and both have fairly low bridges to pass under, i.e.; less than 7' of clearance. Yet on that trip I encountered no less than 4 other SeaCrafts on these fresh waters - more than any other brand of boat on the rivers that day (except Tracker pontoons), for a total of 5 Seacrafts, and ALL of them running Mercury outboards. Only one of them was a newer era boat, the others were all classic SeaCrafts.
1 2000 21' SeaCraft CC w/ Merc 200 Saltwater series
1 1973 20' CC w/ Merc 100 4 cyl.
1 1976 20' CC w/ mid 80's Merc 200
1 1977 23' CC w/ Merc 250
and my 1972 Seafari w/ Merc 90 Opti.

It was just strange. I have never, ever seen another SeaCraft on the Withlacoochee/Rainbow River upstream of the dam, and suddenly there were 4 of them.

Jesus liked fishing, too. He even walked on water to get to the boat!
