Nope, not a Seacraft. The lap strake gives it away. The Seacraft Savage is a 23 cutty cabin/center console hybrid.

I suspect someone on here may know, but they will need more photographs than what you have posted. Good Luck. What does the manufacturer's plate say?

An 18' CC with a 225 or 250hp outboard will fly! You sure that is the HP of that motor on the back?

It almost looks like a Hewes Tarpon converted to a CC, but probably not; the shear line looks different. Check the starboard side of the transom below the rub rail and see if there's a Hull ID number. The first three characters will be the manufacturer code.

Looks like an older MFG or Steury that has been converted to a cc
