Here are some pics form an ebay listing for a 24' Seabird Fiberglass Boat Hull 1973

I'd say your hull is a Seabird!

I found it on the Norfolk Craig's List. I thought the owner listed it as a sunbird, but aparently not from Capt D's post. Guess I mis read. Thanks for the input.

Byrd,

It looks like by the searches I did you should be able to find out a lot about the boats! They even have an owners forum, just google the boat! Its better than the sunbird boat that was a not so mass produced production boat that apparently not many people have. I have trouble finding anything on this boat. Good luck with it and let us know how it goes!

Here is that link to that Seabird owners forum

The owner of that boat I posted above is a member on that site.
Byrd those are real good riding hulls however "elbow grease" is an understatement

Thnaks Finsese. Time I got, Money I don't have so much. I figure IF I get the hull it will be at least a year before it's ready to fish.

I got it all in my head, but sometimes I have a problem going from the head to the hands.

I'll just have to see. A buddy of mine told he saw a 1990 25' Privateer with a 200 Evinrude on a bracket for sort of cheap. It might be easier to get something that I can fish now. Of course that would take a lot of fun away.

hey Byrd- check this ride out- down to 12,500 and looks to be a really nice ride with no where near the work needed for the other boat?

Dang Miles that is a pretty boat. Got me thinking again. Ya'll probably smell the smoke and hear the metal twisting.

Hi Byrd,
I'm the owner of the white Seabird that Finesse posted a pic of above. If you do jump into that red project boat, you won't be disappointed by the ride once she is done. I've always been and still am a SeaCraft fanatic like Finesse and Miles Offshore (hi guys!

), but after I bought the Seabird 3 years ago, the ride impressed me as much as the SC.

Good luck.

Scott
