I Like it - Seaswirl 2101

[ozenine]

Wel, I was looking at some CL ads over the weekend, searching for that pecial Starcraft that has my name on it.... And found this:
http://www.seaswirl.com/photos_new.cfm?model=626

I just loved the contour and overall looks.
So I guess I am wondering if there is more boats with same lines (heavier front, lighter rear), so I can drool even more?
Cheers,
Oleg

If you search for "dual console" boats you should find more similar. I agree it's a super nice boat.

Well, the good thing was my wife's reaction - "I really-really like it!".
However, As I said, I am going to practice on the something more sturdy and cheap ..... like nice ol' Starcraft 16 footer Open Bow ...... if I will find one.....

PS, Here is an ad that made me look into the SeaSwirls:

Re: I Like it - Seaswirl 2101

Thanks Zebrex! It is waht I am looking for, but it is a bit far - over 1000 km one way. In the summer I would have made the trip, but in this season - no way.
I can just continue drooling.....

Oleg, I have a '98 SeaSwirl 2100 Dual Console. It is very similar to the boat you have chosen, however, it has lower freeboard in the bow, and a different hull design. I would like to see that "console changing room". There is some room in the console, but not that much.

There is a Stripers Owners Club (SOC) on the web. You might lurk there and get some info on it. BTW - The 2100 hull on my boat is not the best. I hear the 2101 hull is much better.

Hey Mate, That is a sweet looking machine, I think anyone would be happy to own one. I'm especially partial to dual consoles. If you want to drool some more check out the Grady White Dual Consoles. O.T.

Re: I Like it - Seaswirl 2101

Seaswirl makes a great hull, my dad has a 2401 and we love it.

I have to agree with EZ, that 18' SS w/ 115hp is a great deal if the OB is in decent shape.

Good luck in your search

Ok, now I need a mop to wipe off the drool from the floor
I Guess, I fell in love with this "whale" design. Grady is very similar. And it is good that I will have a choice when the time comes.

I think that "change room" is like a doghouse where you need to crawl in. Especially when I am 6'3" .

There is a Stripers Owners Club (SOC) on the web.

I will search for it. Thanks!

Well 2401 is 24 feet, it is a bit too big for me (but who knows what will be "big for me" in couple of years).

If that Starcraft was somewhere near, then I would definatelly have it.... but what is with all good deals and US? I need a good deal in Canada! Or at least close to the border......

Ideally, though, I would like 16 footer with open bow for now - then I can store it in the garage and work on it in the winter and still have capaciy for couple more people.

That is exactly my situation and I found a nice 16' Starcraft SS

They are around here in lower Michigan/Northern Indiana if ya want to drive a few hundred km each way. Crazedlist.org has a Great Lakes search feature that helps find them quickly.

I am ok with few hundred, not thousand(s), thanks.
I am going through all the listings now. Great site. Thanks a lot!

Ideally, I am looking for same what you have. My garage is approx 20 feet, s it is going to be very tight. I did a bunch of research on removable/folding tongues for the trailer, so taht should help a bit. and probably will have to remove the motor for winter......
