New forum member. Learning a great deal just by reading. What does anyone here know about a 1970 Chris Craft Roamer Riviera called Seanote II formerly IMPULSE? Looking forward to learning more. DrainPlugDoh
"SeaNote" strikes a bell, but will will need more (length/AL or ST?) - can send you out a complete "List of Known Roamers" which you can peruse -- just send email to me: alloyed2sea at yahoo dot com . Any more info? - Eric Webmaster, CC Roamers
Seanote is a 60' Roamer charter that has docked in Excelsior Bay, MN for years. https://www.seanoteyachtclub.com/about-yacht-club.html
Lovely Roamer! Truly an outstanding survivor. Now, about that year and model - problem is, according to Chris-Craft: The Essential Guide, no 60 footers were made in 1970, only in 1971-75. In 1970, it would officially have been a 58'. Granted, Chris-Craft played fast and lose with years of manufacture data, never mind their designation of boat lengths. In any case, wonder if you could clarify this very important matter, and even better, provide a hull# - it's worth $2 bucks! Cheers! - Eric PS - Here's a '74 FDMY 60' dockside Boston - note the single porthole forward.
It is 58', hull #11 https://www.northropandjohnson.com/yachts-for-sale/seanoteii-58-chriscraft It was owned by Chuck Gross- Excelsior Bay Charters. I knew Chuck thru another business he had prior to "going to sea". Chuck passed and I surmise the boat was listed for sale with the brokers above and purchased by the new owners, Seanote Yacht Club.
