New to the site/background on myself

Let me start out by saying that I am a Seacraft nut!! I just learned about this site thru Mr. Miles Offshore and think it is fantastic. I've wanted a Seacraft ever since I saw my first one in 1978. I was 6 yrs old and it was love at first sight. My dad bought a 1987 cc back in '91. The boat was a bank repo that had been badly neglected. My dad and I spent the whole summer when I was home from college restoring her. We completely stripped her down, replaced every nut, bolt, and wire; then buffed the hull out to a new like shine. It turned out awesome!! To make a long story much shorter, my dad sold the boat a year later while I was away at school. It about ripped us apart. Today a man up the river from me owns the boat. I drive past it everyday to and from work and it about kills me to look at it. Anyway.... I swore that when I got a good job I was going to buy my own. So 3 years ago I bought a 1988 cc that was in excellent condition(except for the motor) and ready to fish. I don't know if you would consider it a classic being an '88 but a Seacraft is a Seacraft in my opinion. You can go wrong w/ any of them. I have since added a 2000 225hp ficht Evinrude and new curtains. She is the best ride on the water and turns heads everywhere I go. As soon as I get a digital camera I will post some pics. I look forward to giving and receiving advice/stories from other members in days to come as well as seeing everyones ride.
