are the 20'master angler more desirable?
 

just was wondering if they are worth more because the made fewer?

The reason for me was the baitwell, here in Fla we use alot of live bait - the wide gunnels are really neat too, the GF loves that as you can sit just anywhere. Actually I think the design was done for the live bait crowd, in'75 it was becoming an important issue down here.

Does anyone out there actually use the transom live well on a 20 MA? Mine is really stern heavy just with a 140 Suzuki. How much water do you put in them?

Re: are the 20'master angler more desirable?
 

I do - with a 200 Merc and it drains just above the lift ring, holds alot of bait - my intake is at the bottom and seems to work well. A top intake would not do as well I don't think and make the flow adjustable.

Do you use the origional plumbing?

Re: are the 20'master angler more desirable?
 

They didn't come with any that I know of - we rigged the thru hull and sea cock at the dealer. Mine already had one when I bought it and then fills into the bottom of the well - although this wasn't a pretty install. The drain is just a standard 1 1/4" with a brass strainer thru the transom. I guess it might be possiable to exit the side but the well is pretty flush against the hull but would have a gap - that might wiggle a bit and be tough to seal. Be sure and mount the pump below the waterline or it won't draw right.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder when it comes to the MA or the SF. I wouldn't buy a 'master angler' due to that 4" raised cap, which I think ruins the lines on an otherwise aesthetically pleasing hull. Others specifically seek them out. Worth more? no, not unless there is a buyer absolutely bent on having that model.

Mark,

What a great picture!! Gave me some ideas about an embroidered logo!!

Re: are the 20'master angler more desirable?
 

Having owned both models, I can say Mark's image right there is what made me go to the SF the second time around. What nice lines.

That is an awesome shot. Mind if I borrow it for my desktop at work? Been lookin for a couple of weeks. Pretty work Mark. Doin it again, huh? Part II.

Re: are the 20'master angler more desirable?
 

No, that chapter is closed. I had exactly the 20' that I wanted, there's no need to redo that dream. Any future SeaCraft rides will be on Capt Chucks yacht.

Re: are the 20'master angler more desirable?
 

That is definitely boat porn.

Re: are the 20'master angler more desirable?
 

-humility aside, I've yet to see another 20' SeaCraft comes close [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

That, was the realization of much consideration. If I acquire a 20' SeaCraft in my next life, it will replicate that.

Oh pleeeease here we go now :D

Actually that was an OK boat but I've always been partial to this one ;) (no trick photography needed)

Sure does have a nice ass!!

Re: are the 20'master angler more desirable?
 

Both boats are beautiful!!

Mine didn't require huge windmills in the background to push it, the engine worked fine :D (mine had a 130 yamy on it prior to the suzy but I'd grown weary of filling the yamalube reservoir and at the time, the suzy was the lightest 4-stroke on the market).

Re: are the 20'master angler more desirable?
 

:D

At some point I'll probably be following in your foot steps as far as engine replacement goes...that 130 yamaha does like to eat the oil..and I'm afraid one of these days I'm going to forget to fill that reservoir.
