1978 Chris Craft Tournament fisherman 42’ with SEAKEEPER loa 47’
SEAKEEPER. This boat doesn’t rock. Flounder fish at the reef in a 4’ chop and your drinks will not spill! At the cove and a nice guy drives by at full throttle . This boat dosent rock! The seakeeper ads safety and comfort. No more flipped tables, chairs, coolers sliding on the deck. Striper fish in a 6’ ditch. No problem. It is incredible!
Seakeeper takes any day and makes it better. It gives you the one thing we all want. MORE TIME ON THE WATER!
