Hopefully some time in March...need to be ready for Long Point

I am new to the SeaCraft family. About a year ago I bought an 18 and have been "fixing it up". After going through this thread I am almost ashamed of the way I have treated my boat. Whoa...you are putting a lot of love into this boat.

The one picture that struck me was the one of it sitting in the water. What lines! With that bow it looks like you could find yourself in a hurricane and still be OK. This is going to be a heck of a boat. I can see why you want to do it right. I cant wait to see it finished.

Keep up the good work.

Inspired.

Freeboard at the bow on the Moesly 21 is almost 5'! Check out the whole story about it on Carla's web site @ http://www.moeslyseacraft.com/21-seacraft.html. I recently posted some pics of a factory original 21 owned by a friend of mine on the Old Pictures thread in the General Discussion section. The original 21 is my favorite SeaCraft model because of it's unique combination of ride, practical and versatile layout, and incredible amount of storage space in only 21'. It is indeed, the worlds biggest 21' boat!

Terry,
Really looking nice & like everyone else, can't wait to see her finished ...
Now I'm really looking forward to the gathering at Long Point ... and a ride
in her!

Bushwacker thanks for the link. I thought it was funny that it mentioned a group of them working their way through a hurricane. I cant think of a 21' boat that would be more seaworthy.

Again, I cant wait to see what it looks like when its finished.

Finally some color on the boat

This is only 2 coats so far and I think we will be putting on another 2.

Nothing that exciting as far as pictures but at least it shows something. After the sides are done than the cap and interior get shot and then it comes back home for rigging....

Always need one of the bow

Hopefully Soon it will be out there looking for Grouper

How much will you be charging for rides??? The endless hours of fairing are really making a statement here. Dark colors ain`t easy. Remind me to get some good early pics of her at LP. Maybe I could get Sarah to paint her for a club t shirt...She and hubby Tom are hopefully coming to the Keys next fall to go diving. I so want her to do a Guy Harvey type of painting in her style to make mass market T`s.

I don`t think you have made a questionable decision along the way. The thoughts of weight and balance alone must have taken your dreams for months. The proof was in the splash.

Can`t wait to see her,
All Of Us!

Looking good Terry. If you already said, I missed it, what paint did you go with?
