She was in fact stored on the hard in a yard in Portsmouth, RI through "06". Where she ended up from there is not known to me.
We; the friend that took the photo and I, went to the yard where the photo was taken in February of this year and she was nowhere to be found.

Danny Crowell sold the Seeker to a guy by the name of Mike Jensen. Jensen ran the boat for about a year or so out of RI. He ran up a big yard bill, took a bunch of deposits from any number of people (including me), and then promptly went out of business. I assume he has disappeared from diving? I think there was some sort of Sheriff's sale, and where the boat went to from there is anyone's guess?
The Seeker was almost 60' of wood hull, and built in the early 80's. Not exactly in big demand I would suppose?
Regardless, thanks for posting the picture.

There was also a reason she was also known as "The Leaker"
He posted on this forum back in April that he was starting up a new charter operation in NH. I have no idea whether he was successful though.

Cheers. It's nice to see her pic. I have fond memories of diving on her and meeting so many unique folks who stepped on her deck.

I probably was on one of the last charter trips (if not the last) for the first time. Although the experience was not good it was a great vessel. Probably too big for around here....it would have had more successful in CA or FL.
