I wasn't exactly sure how to post the pics, so you can click on the photobucket site above to view them. Perhaps someone with more expertise can copy and post them here so you don't have to click on the site for viewing. My boys and I had fun putting the boat back together. Thanks. Greg

That should work...........

By the way, great picture of your 18SF from the sand bar on Loxahatchee! My parents 1987 18SF with the a 140 Suzuki is on a lift on the shoreline behind marker #9 in your picture! I grew up there and my folks still live there. What is the background on your 18?

Thanks for the picture help and nice to hear you are in the neighborhood...you'll see it running around the river. Bought it last year on the west coast of Florida as a project and replaced just about everything on it. This is the third SeaCraft we've redone over the years and you can't beat the classic lines and ride.

Nice looking rig. I like the clear windshield, makes me wish I'd done mine like that. Also reminds me to reinstall the hand rail before I eject any passengers!

Thanks, I found a great guy to fabricate the clear windshield and starboard hatches in Riviera Beach, FL. Mark at Funktionworks (561) 881-1616

Hey gnewk, FYI for you and any other 18 owners. I picked up a cover at home depot for a stack of patio chairs for 19.99 that fits my console ridiculously well. Its a tan material from patio armour. Best 20 bucks I've spent at home depot in awhile!
I was also wondering who made your leaning post. Looks like a very nice one.

That's good to know...I will check it out as I was looking for a console cover. Birdsall Marine here in West Palm Beach did the rocket launcher and I had them do the cushions to match.

Here's a link, it doesn't cover the seat but it does fit great for twenty bucks. I priced custom covers from a couple marine canvas places and they wanted several hundred dollars!
