Hello everyone. I just bought a 1963 Sea Breeze 31' in the California Delta area. My first powerboat, but I have owned wood and fiberglass sailboats before so I know what to expect. The Trojan is in phenomenal condition, was surveyed 18 months ago noting expired fire extinguishers and not much else (and those were replaced). Here are a few pics.

Hauled out a year ago for bottom work.

In her natural habitat

I love the wood helm. GPS and depthsounder included. But no factory seats. Anybody have a lead on the mounting hardware and hinges as I can build/upholster the seat myself.

Hey Stripermann2, I just got home from 2 weeks in Rockville meeting with Lockheed. Where do you keep your boat?

Some interior pics for everybody...

Fabric is getting a little tired so I'll start with that project. Also to gain better access, the PO removed the cabinet that the alcohol stove sat on. That will be rebuilt as well. The boat was repowered in 1991 with new pleasurecraft 350's. 230HP each with 240 hours on them.

Wow! I just saw my boats twin and to think that boat has been sitting in a marina within 10 miles of the one I'm in.

If you need to pattern cabinets let me know; your free to measure anything you need to.

I'd love to see how they fit the motors in your boat.

Welcome.

Steve
