New Member as of 1/25(Barnstable gathering story)

[finestkind]

Well Hello to all!!!! Im a new member as of last night!! I came across your site while I was looking for ideas for some of my thoughts!! Kind of funny that I came across this site!! Last summer I was out in my recently purchased '71 20'Seafari and saw a red seafari out off the parking lot off Barnstable Harbor. We trolled by each other exchanging a wave and I was told everyone was inside. Being friendly and having no idea what he was talking about said okay and waved him on. Fished for awhile. Well I had to fuel up and headed to Barnstable Harbor as I was going in I saw a pile of SeaCrafts!!!! After fueling I was going back by those SeaCrafts when I saw that red Seafari anchoring up and pulled up to say Hi for a minute and pulled away. Pulling away admiring all the other Crafts I said to my dog "look at all those SeaCrafts, wierd huh, well they must all be buddies from the area" Everytime I went into fuel(which is several times a week) I checked to see if they were there again!!! Thinking well thats weird I wonder why they arn't here everyweekend?? Well a half a year later I found all of ya!!!!!! Well I think this is a great site and I am excite to hopefully check out another Barnstable gathering if there happens to be one this year!!!! This time I'll come ashore and meet all these people I've been reading about!!!!!!! Well thanks again for this amazing site and will keep in touch!!! Tom

finestkind,
Welcome to the site. I was at that gathering and happened to notice your boat trolling the parking lot. I trolled past you a few times in the white 23' Sceptre. Actually, my avatar picture is of that day in my dad's SeaCraft. We had a great time, you should have stopped by. If we do it again this season, you'll know where to find us!

Thanks ScottM and Capt. Chuck for the welcome!!!! And yes I hope there is a another SeaCraft gathering in Barnstable!! I'll make sure to bring some clams,fish, and lobsters!! And to Capt. Chuck about the 71 sticker my boat came with two sickers on it!!! My Seafari was bought off of Mike_D down in Chatham!! It's the Seafari that I saw people say it had the "extra wide tuna door option" LOLOL in one of the forums talking about the transoms on the Seafari's!!!! I cracked up reading it!! And yes it is very wide and open I guess it used to have two 50hp's on it before!! Well, like I said before thanks for the welcoming to the Classic SeaCraft Crew!!!!!

I just knew I'd seen that boat in here before - must have been shown by the previous owner - who I mistook you as being, and figured you'd be in on the gathering !! Yep, that was me in the red Seafari - CSN and I have had a discussion about transom cutouts - you have a relatively unique one in being a full two motors width wide.

I know I, for one, will be down in the bay often this coming year, having been introduced to it at last years CSC gathering - I have to say the fishing is much better than I've found up on the NH coast - and the water is a wee bit warmer, too !!

Welcome Aboard !!!
