Narrowing the search: pros/cons 18SF vs 20SF
First, hello to all of you. This a great forum you have here and I am glad to have found it. I have been lurking for a while now. You guys have some very nice boats. I have just begun the search for a fishing/family boat. I am looking for a SF18 or maybe even a 20SF. I am sort of a minimalist and enjoy doing more with less. Just want to narrow it down so I am not too consumed by the search and all its variables, although that is half the fun sometimes.
I have owned several smaller boats including a classic Mako 171 many years ago. I enjoyed it very much but I wanted to try something a little different this time around. I have always like the Seacraft lines. So now I am looking for one. I am on a budget so price is a concern. I have done some fiberglass/paint work but dont want to get in over my head and have to redo the deck, transom, cap, etc before I get to use it for a couple years. I just sold my airboat so the kids and I are looking to get out on the ocean in our own center console. I would appreciate the opinions of past present owners of either hull. Pros/cons of each one and/or specific year issues I should watch out for. This boat would be used mostly out of Palm Beach Inlet trolling weedlines offshore, drifting reefs, trailering to the Keys, wakeboarding, snorkeling, etc. Mostly me with a couple preteens half the time and maybe a buddy. I have been scouring the classifieds and cl and the prices vary quite bit. So, I wanted to get a little more info before I get real serious and pull the trigger on one. Thanks for any insight from your experiences that you care to share publicly or privately ([email protected]) Regards, Tony |
