Pleaz explain why everyone is selling their SC

[muddywater]

Would someone please explain to the newbie why everyone seems to be selling their Seacraft even after sinking so much work, beer, $$$, and work into them. It looks like half the boats on ClassicSeacraft.com that made me want to buy one to fix up are up for sale. Even Hammer's gorgeous 20. Is the 4 boat theory finally taking its toll? Are you all trading them in for 30+ footers? Is it the "SinkCraft" worry? Are you just tired of all the restoration and upkeep? Please explain. I just came within a hair's breadth of buying a project 20 and I do not want to put insane amounts of time into something that might not be worth it in the end.

Thanks,
Muddy

Muddy I was just thinking the same thing. Maybe its just time for some of us recent additions to carry the torch. Or maybe they are all switching to bayliner lol

I have enjoyed my boat very much and no boat comes close to the ride. But as in life my needs have changed. I need the shallow draft of an outboard powered craft. My loss will be someone's gain of a great boat.

Things change. Now that my girls are teens, they have lost interest in spending weekends on a motor yacht, so we're selling it. I discovered trailer boats, including my (2) SeaCrafts after having big boats.

So I'm in SeaCraft mode and have as many hours and money invested in my 23 as the other guys here. But I can see moving on in a few years to something else.

I wouldn't second guess buying a SeaCraft. It's not about the boat, it what's you do with the boat.

Well...thats my deal. I LOVE my 20 and think a 20' SeaCraft is the best looking 20 made! Bar none!
I have a line on a 23' SeaCraft and want to move up and need to sell the 20 first.
Muddy,the Mississippi Gulf Coast isn't that far from Abbyville, you need to come take a look.
I think it will hard to rebuild one with new motor and trailer for $20000.
