Brian, She's a 1980. She is very clean, but dated. Once we finish the repower this winter, then it will be cosmetics and interior upgrades.
Added her to my 'fleet' LOL we have a 21' walkaround as well that i use for inshore and bay fishing. Can run the 21' all day for what the Viking cost to run for an hour.

I had to keep it under 38' because wife doesnt do well with diesels. Gas engines are ok on the 35, not enough on the 40. Cheaper to buy gas than another divorce!
My other boat is a Sea Sport Walkaround. What model do you have?

very sea-worthy boat. different manufacturer's. many people get them confused. yours is along the lines of an Osprey; high bow, forward-swept windshield. Must look intimidating out on Barnegat Bay

Joey, show us a picture of it. There were two manufactures using the 'Sea-Sport" name. One is SeaSport Boats out of Bellingham Washington. Big hefty boats, still being made.
The other was United Marine. They're out of business now, but they traded as Sea Sport, Seamaster, Sea Sprite and Renken. They were sold locally in Manahawkin

FishinHardWater;
Thanks! We've put alot of work into getting her back to her former self. The service guys at Sun Harbor put in alot of time over the winter rebuilding her engines, I've redone her other mechanical systems and redid the flybridge enclosure. She's like a thoroughbred going thru her paces; I took her 'outside' to stretch her legs. She's just getting out of her break-in period and I wanted to see how she did in the rough rollers.
I see by your profile you have a Starcraft CC. I had one of those a number of years back- 17 footer. Took it up to Lake Ontario alot. Amazing little boats!

Had same boat; Mine was brown, not blue and I thought it was 17 foot. It was a 1985 with a 60 Mariner and a 9.9 kicker for Round Valley. Had her set up with downriggers and planer pole in the bow. Had dodger, bimini and canvas drops; kept warm even in late fall & early spring. RV is about 20 minutes from home so I used to fish it after work; rainbow trout feared me!!(lol) They had introduced Kamloops which were like small water Steelheads. Great figh on light tackle. Somewhere I have underwater topos of RV showing great structure
Now its on to bigger things and bigger boats.
