Miles nice looking fish catcher you have there.im thinking about restoring a 73 and putting a salt shaker bracket on it.With a pair of 115 yamahas.that would make it a 25 lol.

Thanx Kingndabox- please check out classicseacraft.com when you start your project- there are a few guys running twins on brackets over there and im sure have some pointers . one thing off the top of my head is you might consider a hemco bracket- has positive floatation (those pesky scuppers that always leave you with wet feet). the hermco is also designed and sold by _Bill Potter_ surprise- but he is pushing selling "Cats" blasphemy,lolol- j/k- peace
BTW- those are some awesome c/c's you guys are putting up!!!!
There are a couple of Bluefins around here in NJ, but I have not had the pleasure to ride in one yet. I see they came out with a new series of boats. I believe they are 27 foot in length and can come with a inboard diesel. Very clean looking boat, but I bet they are pricey having that diesel.
I really like my World Cat 330TE, Not the prettiest boat, but better lookin then alot, not the fastest boat, but I don't mind only running 30 knts in just about any sea's with out having to hang on for my life. The boat is unreal on the drift there is almost no roll regardless of the seas. just my opinion but problably one of the best all around sea boats in that size range.
My family is lucky to hae me in it. I steer them in the right direction for boats
My father-in-law has a dark blue 1978 Seacraft with an inboard gas engine. My brother has a 1976 Teal 23 Seacraft with an inboard Yanmar Diesel, and I have a 1974 fighting lady yellow 23' Seacraft with outboard 225 Yamaha. Mine is the fastest, but my brothers has the highest cruise speed. All of them are awesome. My other brother has a Teal Donzi 22 Classic and I have a Formula F233 in the back yard awaiting restoration. Love the classics! So what is the best CC, obviously a 23' Seacraft
If money was no object I would have an intrepid as I cruise more than I fish. Intrepid makes some sweet boats!
I'll have pics soon. I did a lot to it this winter and want to finish up a few things. I go to CSC quite a bit but haven't posted much there, not sure why, but I'll try to get more active. Formie, it is a 1965 Cuddy. And because it has a solid aluminum rubrail that is about 2" thick that I have never seen on any other boat I decided to keep it, even though it needs a total resoration. Since it is so old I assume old Don had his hands on it during contrsuction which is a really cool thing i think.
