Very nice indeed. That with the Yammi 150 Four Stroke would be a sweet ride. If I had done the work, I'd have raised the transom notch though to accept a longer leg motor or bracket it. ::)

One of my favorite boats. CB, you're exactly right on the transom height. What happened to the scupper holes, she's supposed to be self bailing?? I know someone near me with the exact boat, even the color scheme and year. He did have the transom raised with and put a new Suzi 140 4s. Also had the deck raised 2" to help keep water from coming in scuppers (wet feet)

If it wasn't for that 20" tansom I'd be bidding on her.

Does it come with kicker motor shown? Guess she's only got 20" legs.

That Ebay listing says that boat is a 1971...is that true....if it is who ever did the restoration is an artist. Very nice Job! even better with a bracket ;D

the guy selling it is a boat manufacture and does restorations as a hobby. He builds tons of Skiffs seen in the Carolina's. I talked to him at a show last fall. I actually bought a pallet full of control cables off him once. Great guy and company.

Well he sure did a heck of a job on that beauty,. I would like to take my V20 to him, toss him a credit card and tell him to call me when its done ;D

Why spend all the money and time and Not raise the transom is beyond me.

Also, the old Seacrafts are notorious for soft decks. I bet the stringers are in need of attention. That boat does look great but I'd be leary.

do you think a guy that puts out that kind of work ignored a soft floor,yet restored the rest of the boat....probably not.

Floor may not "feel" soft yet. Go to www.classicseacraft.com and you will find almost all the old "Potter" hull 20'ers have bad stringers. Potter hulls were from 1969-1980.

Here's a "69 20 that was restored. He didn't know he had bad stringers, no soft spots, yet. Then he removed some of the deck....surprise! *Shows the resto process:

TinMan, our chief here on wellcraftv20.com is restoring a 20' Seacraft. Complete resto like those others. He's been on that classicseacraft.com site longer than here. When he was living here in New England he helped his friend (the site administrator over there) Jason Goldfarb (Trayder on that site) redo one of his projects.
Just a little background for ya. ;)

yea, I realize that...."bigshrimpin", huh?

The link I posted above is Trayder's (Jason's) boat.

In fact there's pics of both Trayder and Bigshrimpin doing the resto....the "correct" way.

My biggest concern would be the 40 gal fuel tank...even w/today's fuel-efficient OBs, that ain't enough...

Nice work on the boat, though ;)...
