Did your aluminum fabricator save specs of top and post, or is it a one off? Hard to invision but I think I'm going to like it. Keep us posted!

It's one off. I made a few modifications to a previous one they did. I have kids so I needed some shade but not a fan of bimini tops plus the extra rod holders are great. I know not everyone has the same taste and style but I'll post some more pics soon.

Thanks

Ironman I think it's a stroke of genius for the previous owner to cut the cap. You get the benefit of the M/A cap and deck with the dead sexy S/F shearline. Imho the best of both worlds. That's how they would lay them out today if SeaCraft was still in business.

Keep posting pics, boat looks really good. Also if you want another guy with some good info on bracketed 20s look up Ole Parker aka caymanboy

When I first found the hull i was like uhhhh what happened here? But yeah i do like the hand rails and the sleek look. Best of both worlds.

Picked it up today and leaning post was too tall. No biggie, fabricating a new one this week. On its way to get some more cables run through it.

here is a quick update. I still have some details to finish like trim tabs, self bailing setup, bow rod holders, windshield, live well etc but she is sea worthy!

Very happy with how it turned out.

I have to give thanks to the guys at international marine in boynton beach,FL. These guys did nice clean work installing the engine and rigging. They also custom made my ocean grip in the front and helm pad.

Can't forget about the custom laser etched Seacraft switch panel with boca tech switches.

The Suzuki 200 paired with the hermco bracket is a match made in heaven! Gets up on plane quick.

I definitely enjoyed the maiden voyage while jamming to the Wetsounds sound system.

Thank you to everyone that commented and gave your wise opinions. They were all read and given consideration through my process. This was a learning experience for me that had some ups and downs but overall a learning experience I'll never forget.
