lyn-craft/seabreeze

Does anyone know anything about this boat? It says seabreeze on the side and i heard lyn-craft used to make it but besides that i know nothing about it. Im looking for any info on it i think its a around a 1975. Oh ya im new to the site. Thanks.

Re: lyn-craft/seabreeze

Should be Lyn-Craft/Seabreeze. The company only made boats 1971, 1972, and 1973. Model 1575 BOW RIDER - 17'. I have the same boat and have not found much information on them myself. It's been a great little boat.

Re: lyn-craft/seabreeze

Lyn-craft was started and owned by my Uncle, John Baerveldt. He sold the company to Searay. My father worked for the company and always has stories to tell. We had one for a while when we lived in Sarasota but sold it when we moved.

I own a 1962 17' Lyn-Craft Seabreeze "rambler". It has ALWAYS been garage-kept and is truly in excellent shape as I think you'll be able to tell from the pics and vid. The trailer is the original 1962 Murray tilt and the motor is the original 1962 Kiekhaefer (sic?) Merc450. This is a real classic. A matched boat-motor-trailer-all 1962! The boat was made in Sarasota and the trailer in Tampa. One-owner (I am 2nd). Not registered since 1988.

The boat is solid-I cannot find any soft spots or rot. It has a few minor cosmetics as one would expect but nothing major-very minor oxidation which should look like new after compound, polish, wax. Rub-rail is in excellent shape, windshield is clear as you can see. Transom is perfect, vinyl upholstery is flawless. I really cannot find anything wrong with the boat-can you?

According to a guy I've met on another site named Mike Carrigan:

"The hull became the first 17' PRO-LINE in 1968.
It was then called an 18 by SEABREEZE.
I provided the hull to Dan Atwood, Dan "popped" the hull, made some changes to it and it became the first 17 PRO-LINE CC.
It's amazing it's made it this long, really amazing.

The tri-hulls were the "1550" and the "1850" and the "2050", also the "1550 SEA JEEP" and the "1850 SEA JEEP"
The V hulls were the "1500", "1600", "1800', "1900" "2100" and the LUCAYAN.
For example, the "1900 OCEANIC" was the open. The "1900 CONTESSA" was the cabin.
There was also an "1800" cabin, but I forget what it was called."

We had a Seabreeze 21' tri hull growing up and learned to water ski with it. Reinforced the transom and had 2 105 Chrysler OB's named Double Trouble. We had 5 skiers up at 1 time. Great boat.

Yeah, that's neat. I have a picture of an Orlando Clipper with two outboards.

These Lyn-Craft boats appear to be very, very rare. What year was yours?

Re: lyn-craft/seabreeze

that will make a nice little runabout.
