The praises keep on coming

The one very special thing that makes owning and having a Seacraft on the great lakes is the amount of gawkers they attract. They aren't very common there,so they tend to attract other boaters.
Just when I think everyone is used to seeing the Tsunami,another fishermen will tell me how beautiful it is.
It was especially nice when I pulled up to the fuel dock,and had a guy in a Tiara 31 yell out to his buddies."Thats that red Seacraft I told you guys about"
He then took a moment to tell me what a nice boat it was,and complimented me on the restoration.He new the history of them,and had a friend in the Carolinas with one.

Had another boater ask me what year it was,and when I told him it was a 1974 he was blown away,he couldn't get over that it was 40 years old.Sometimes,as much as I like the admiration,it's almost embarrasing,how do you reply to a guy in a 31 Tiara a beautiful boat in it's own right. I just said "Thank you very much"

I've run the boat for about five years now,and am still so amazed by it.I've had a few mechanical issues here and there,and I could have done a better job on the hull paint,and certainly didn't accomplish the level of work done by others on this site like Strick,whose talents blow me away,but in every way this boat performs beyond my expectations.I'm an old geezer now,but this boat makes me feel like a kid every time I use it.
Why would anyone ever put one up for sale? I'll use Charlton Hestons words and say"You'll get my Seacraft when you pry it from my cold dead hands"

We just returned from Lake Ontario where we fished ten straight days. Caught a lot of salmon(small,10-18 lbs)nasty weather,40 degree water temps but at least not much wind,so it was flat.Everything up that way is a month behind.The salmon should be in the mid twenty pound range by now,and close to forty by August.
Oh well,got to try out the new seats (very comfy)and new speed and temp downprobe,and a few other gadgets.Excuse the messy dash.
