Classic 1974 SF 20’ Sea Craft for sale
 

Well maintained and all original. 150 HP'88 Evenrude OB Little Dude trailer. Beautiful boat that needs more attention than I have time for. Hull is very sound and water tight. Owned since ’86. Flooring is firm and no soft spots. Has the high bow railing. Yellow hull with blue antifouling paint. Transom needs inspection, it appears solid but it has the wood core and has been around for a while in the water. Trailer is in good shape structurally, replaced axle recently and has good tires, lighting needs replacement. Comes with many extras; large danforth with chain and 150 of ¾ rope, Raymarine GPS/Fishfinder, PVC frame for winter storage.

Welcome to the site. Are you a member of MSBA?

Re: Classic 1974 SF 20’ Sea Craft for sale
 

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the welcome. No I'm not a member of MSBA but am a Member of Plum Island Surfcasters Club. Have recently evolved my passion for stripers from boat based to shore and kayak based. But I love to catch them any way I can.

One of my constraints is I've had an birth in the Parker River. To get outside to for mackerel or fish the beach, its 8 miles each way, the outing becomes a big time consumer and expense.

BTW, how was your big show last week end? I wasn't able to make it?

MassBass,
I've split my striper fishing between shore and boat as well, and got into the kayak thing last season (lots of fun). Sometimes it's a toss up on which way to go.

The MSBA show went really well and Gillette Stadium was a nice venue for it. The show committee did a bang-up job of putting it together in such a short time period.

Hey Scott,
I just happened to think you may know the original owner of my boat, its Ed Nowak, the field editor of the Fisherman Magazine. He named it Fishin Pole, and I kept the name. I believe he had some note worthy guests including Ted Williams on board. Ed still mentions this boat in his articles from time to time. This boat was on the cover of the Fisherman back in the late eighties. The picture shows me fishing from the bow; the Sea Craft moniker above the anchor hatch is evident.

Yup, I know who "the old gaffer" is. I've met him at MSBA meetings and fishing shows. That's pretty cool you have his old boat. Good luck selling it.

Can anyone give me a ballpark idea of what it would cost if examination proved that in fact the transom did need replacement? I am in Boston and am always flirting on and off with getting a boat. This one seems to have very good mojo and the price is appealing. Thanks and tight lines, Bob

Re: Classic 1974 SF 20’ Sea Craft for sale
 

bigbfitz,

I'm in MA and am in the middle of redoing the transom on my 1976, 20' SF right now. I figure it will cost me about $500-$600 in materials if I use epoxy and plywood, add another $300 +/- if I use a composite material. Just for reference, I called a Boston area firm that restores a lot of SeaCrafts and, sight unseen, they suggested I budget $3,500 to have them do the work. While I haven't checked, I'd guess there are a lot of options fall between that budget estimate and my estimated cost (just materials).

dcobbett, thanks that is just the kind of info I am interested in. I need to do some checking with the Minister of Finances at my house, (lets hope she's in a good mood) but this seems like a great deal. Bob

Re: Classic 1974 SF 20’ Sea Craft for sale
 

Sounds like the boat I'm looking for but you are in MA (I think) and I am in SC! Is it still for sale?

Re: Classic 1974 SF 20’ Sea Craft for sale
 

Sonny,
You are quite correct, the boat is in MA. And, she is still for sale. If there was something I could do to teleport the boat.....

Re: Classic 1974 SF 20’ Sea Craft for sale
 

MASSBASS,

Is the boat still for sale? I can see the foam in the water, you must be neer the Cape. I'm making a trip to Nauset Inlet(Orleans,MA) this weekend and want to look at your boat. Thanks

Phil

Re: Classic 1974 SF 20’ Sea Craft for sale
 

Yes Phil, she is still for sale. Actually we are on the North Shore, closer to the NH boarder. Its not exactly a direct line to the cape from Worcester, but it's worth the dive. Let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Classic 1974 SF 20’ Sea Craft for sale
 

I've had 2 people look at the boat, both had similar comments. The transom needs replacement. The hull is in good condition otherwise and is a great candidate for a project. The other comment is the motor corrosion is serious and the motor should be replaced. Can’t get much more honest than that. Given this I will reduce the again to $3,500 or BO. The boat is in Massachusetts on the north shore.

Re: Classic 1974 SF 20; Sea Craft for sale
 

Come on guys, someone must be interested in a project. Any interested takers?

Re: Classic 1974 SF 20; Sea Craft for sale
 

Sold.......
Thanks All

Re: Classic 1974 SF 20; Sea Craft for sale
 

MassBass...thanks again.

For my first post I will just let you know that this classic SeaCraft is now living in Chatham, MA. As the thread stated it does need a transom and to be re-powered. I am already looking at many of the 20' projects and threads here for help. Once the fishng slows here I will put it in a shrinkwrap bubble and have at it. Looking very much forward to the project. It is my first SeaCraft. :D
