Re: No SeaCrafts in miami!!
Out of the current quality cc's it seems like cape horn, yellowfin,etc are what people shell the Jack out for. A lot of the percieved " best in class" boats don't do it for me. For example, YF's for me just have such a weird hard down turn in the bow. It looks like it's frowning to me. Just not my taste. People shell out the dough for them though. I'd buy 2 SC 32's for the price of 1 jupiter, yellowfin, contender, capehorn, venture,YF, Grady, conch, seavee....etc. Maybe not two of them for all those boats but I sure could put a nice bracket and spray rails on that baby with the leftover money. I wonder what the SC division themselves feel about their percieved fall from grace. Good thing I've got a lovely old skiff and their are others to choose from.

Re: No SeaCrafts in miami!!
Years ago when Contender was getting so popular, I went to the Mobile boat show and compared the Contender and Regulator. On the Contender I looked at also had the shoddy workmanship under the gunnels, deck, etc. The Regulator was top notch and in my opinion the Contender wasn't even in the same league as the Regulator.

Re: No SeaCrafts in miami!!
I guess we all know that times are tough in the Marine business. I was at the harbor here the other day and noticed BOONDOCKS was shut down and then saw an article in the paper today that they are way behind on their rent for the Port of Bellingham property, even though they own the buildings. The interesting part to me is that that BOONDOCKS own SeaSport boat building factory. Boondocks just bought it about 8-10 yrs ago from the Wright Brothers, which started the company in the early 60s building 12 ft fiberglass boats for Sears. SeaSport is still up and running but also has slowed production. Their boats are the most popular here in the Northwest and Alaska. They build a very good boat all the up to 32 ft.
