Who owns a Sportcraft HARDTOP 252/250 Fisherman INBOARD on this site?

I bought my Seaswirl because it has a composite transom and fiberglass stringers to eliminate wood rot issues and keeps the boat light so it gets on plane quick and although it is just a little 21 footer, I can get 52 mph with my 305 and fuel economy is spectacular!

That is a nice boat, and I agree with rscotfish...they sound awesome!

I am biased towards Marinettes because I own one. My Sportsman 28' is similar to Sportcrafts 28, Marinettes are constructed completely out of aluminum. Never any rot issues, corrosion issues are only a problem in salt water. The rear deck is completely free of obstructions, the engine is totally under the deck...it's like a big dance floor! Plus the weight of a 28 is about 5500 lbs.
Just some food for thought!

I owned a 81 sport 270 with the 305. Now I have a 91 sport with 454. My advice is to go with more ponies. The extra torque really helps out. I get about the same fuel mileage maybe slightly less with the new boat. They were and are hard tops.

I have a 99 sportcraft and i just took it out of the water yesterday to take it in the shop to get worked on. one thing they did wrong was when they cut out the floors for the inspection hatch they didnt seal the egdes so over time the particle board will collect water and start to rot, at least mine did. the gentleman i am taking the boat to had fixed this problem on other sportcrafts in the past, other than that and the boat not turning the way i need it to in reverse to get off the dock and out the channel lol, it has been a really good boat for us
