proud owner of a 20'1976 cuddy with a 175 johnson ob. I have owned the boat for about 8 years now but the last 3 have been out of the water due to my wife's illness. i have been tossing around the idea of selling it but i just can't bring my self to do it. Thought this forum may help me in my quest as to what i should do. Chip away at the things that need to be repaired and keep it or fix what is nessary and sell. Wife doesen't want me to sell it but it makes me sick to see it sit there. too many great memories. I love this boat as i'm sure most of you feel about yours. Any suggestions will be appreciated. thanks, paul [image]

That actually looks like a 20 with a 25 windshield.

Great looking boat, i bet you do have some fond memories of it. Best of luck whatever you deciede, but if you hang around this site; you are more then likely going to keep it. Cheers!

i believe theat the windshield is original, however i do know the original owner and the next time i see him i'll ask if it had been changed. thanks for the feed back.

thanks, and you are correct. memories are many, good times far out way the bad, and hanging around this forum is probably just what i need. FIX THE BOAT AND GO FISHING is what i have been telling myself. To everybody who loves to fish "keep the painted side down and bait on the hook" Thanks again, paul

DO NOT SELL YOUR SEAFARI!

That is a true classic and the boat Bill Potter himself choose to renovate for his personal use. We all hope and pray your wife make a full recovery so that many more fond memories can be made in the future.

If the last thing I do on earth is take a ride in a 20' Seafari, I'll be happy...

Dam I was just starting to get over my seafari addiction and you had to go and say that.
