Re: Opening photos
enjoyed the photos. I have a 1965 seacraft 19, bowrider, i/o, mercruiser 6 cyl,150 hp, 1C outdrive, serial #315, model 3+3, purchased new 6/29/1965 by my father, and purchased by me in 1974 when he bought a larger boat. I spent many hours as a teenager operating this boat as I had just gotten my drivers license that year. I put a new head on the engine and a freshwater kit on it in 1976 as I was then living in tidewater, va. and boating in saltwater. The boat still looks relatively new, and runs like a top. I have all orginal receipts, ads, warranty cards, seacraft placemats, orginal top, side, and aft curtain, and use the boat regularly. Have thousands of hours on it, and still have not found anything better in its size. Hull is light green, topside a darker green. I did drill holes in the floor in 1983/4 and put closed cell foam in between the hull and innerliner. This really made the hull stiff, and only added about 100 pounds to the weight. I am on my third fuel tank. Orginal was galvanized, and have aluminum now, 28 gallon.
