No kidding and I thought the brown was worse than the yellow. I was very lucky though; got that boat before my drivers license and used it to fish and hang out with my friends all over Cape Cod, ugly upholstery be damned.

Who was the dealer in Orleans?

GFS,
Sorry for my slow response time. I think I spent more time at Millway Marine and Sandy Neck than I did at my house during the summers. I know the owner of MM at the time was John Cannady (spelling?) but am blanking on who Dana was. We originally had a 20' SF bought from Waveland Marine in Hull, MA (Gerry Giagrando) before the 23' Sceptre.

Chuck,
Thanks so much for posting this picture. That was a great day and the picture doesn't do justice for the conditions outside of Newport that day. We ran over from Falmouth and used my friend as moveable ballast (300 lbs. +/-) to keep us in trim.

My uncle bought the first family SeaCraft in 1970, a 1969 20' Seafari originally powered by twin red-label Mercury 650's. Re-powered in 1973 with a Mercury 1500 by Frank Brown.

I partly owned that boat briefly in the early-mid 80's before selling my share back to my cousin when I bought a '77 23' SF in '84. Sold that in '85. Bought a '68 '27 Seamaster in '88 after it sank in my marina, but sold it after only a few weeks.

No Seacraft for the next 11 years before buying another 20 Seafari O/B in 2000, then adding a 23' Tsunami in 2006.

Sold the Tsunami in 2009, sold the Seafari OB in 2012 just prior to buying another 20 Seafari I/O in '13, and then adding an '18 SF in '17.

I sold the Seafari in '17 to an elderly parishioner and then had it gifted back to me a year later, and I have since gifted it to my brother in Melbourne leaving me with just the '18.

So, a total of 30 years of Seacraft ownership. I love them all.
