very true. i didn't realize we were talkin back in the day.
but for the record, you could get in a nice used regulator for around 35K.
i would like to see any good 23 ft boat you can buy turn key for 15K. seacraft, mako, parker, aquasport, seabird, whatever... |

Back in my day, no one dared fish Sow and Pigs without a skeg. That pretty much ruled out inboard seacrafts.

The boats back then for sow & pigs were Crosby's, Tripp Angler's and small Harris Cuttyhunk's etc... I agree, most were straight inboards with skegs, it made you feel more comfortable when you felt the bump underneath you, I remember it from when I was a kid. |

Tripp Anglers were far and few between, round bilge = rolls like hell if you were on the sow in any kind of swell.
There were also alot of Brownells and Surf Hunters.
Infact the Surf Hunters live on in aluminum over there now. 
There's never been a modern setup that compares to the abilities of a Surf Hunter with the forward casting platform with controls. |

Krispy we will have to compare notes as I have recently started my 69 Sea Craft 20 resto, I am going back with the I/O that it came with much better lines and much safer IMO. Weird part about it is I think I bought my dads first boat, I am trying to track down owners with little success. My new transom is all cut out just needs to get glassed in (this weekend)
