SUPERB SEACRAFT







Seacraft's are as Aussie as meatpies kangaroo's and Holdens.Of course David knows this,he's the proud skipper of this immaculate TS example built by Peter Adcock back in '87.Originally a slightly lighter hue and powered by a 253,she has progressed through a 308 to the current 355 stroker that gets her humming.The beautiful rich finish was done in this darker shade by Peter Adcock again in 2005.Other than these changes the boat is completely original,Dave has even resisted the temptation of painting a name on her for all these years.Now the ratbags have grown and are out playing in more roomier,comfy wake barges,Dave is seriously considering a V-drive transformation to get her really scoot'n....Gorgeous boat.Please keep us updated on any changes,and would love to see some on the water shots of her,be a while before the good weather is back though.Thanks.
