My new to me 1971 SF20!!
 

hello all, this is my second seacraft and i missed my other one so much i had to get a new one. this one is by farther much nicer than my first. very pleased to be back on the site for other than just drooling!

heres a couple more pics, the only real addition is now its on a new trailer , the one it came with almost didnt make it home!!!

Very, very nice. You coming or going to the fuel pumps?? :)

with this 200 carb converted mercury im always going to the pumps! but i love it!! she realy flies!!!!

Sweet pick up man. Love the T-Top

thanks, i never put one on the old boat , i thought it would be in the way of fishing but after having it on this boat i will never be without one again! i know as summer gets closer im gonna love it even more! i just replaced all the cleats with pull ups and a flipup nav light. love the way they cleanup the lines of the boat. post some more pics when i get home.

Do you have to deal with water intrusion when you replace the original cleats & nav light with pop-up cleats & flip up nav light?

thay all drain into the bilge like the front storage locker does. cant see it being a problem.

new goodies!
 

a couple more pics with the new cleats and light

that thing must really move with that motor. what speed are you seeing and what rpm??

with my wife and three kids on i cruise between 3900 and 4100 at about 36 mph on the gps. and only once have i opened it up alone with half tank and saw 58 mph on the gps at 5700 rpm. it was just a quick burst for quick few seconds i didnt mess with trim or anything just got on it and them off it again. got a bit spooky, speed sure feels different on the water.

by the way i saw pics of that 23 you bought, thats nice, realy what i wanted but those 23's are still just a bit out my financial reach! i came close to a couple and then they wanted to sell without trailer or include it for more cash, i never could figure that out if your selling then sell dont screw with someone after the drive two hours to come see the boat! drove me nuts, their was always some weired catch!

Pretty boat, Hugo!

thank you sir

Beautiful Boat! Is your fuel tank in the console? If so, what size is it? Mine is in the console under the seat and measured out to be around 40 gallons.

yep exactly, mine is under the seat above the deck, and it is also 40 gallons.

Nice ride!

How is your console attached to the floor? This one has 1 1/2" angle screwed to the floor and the console attached (by screws) to the angle. Need to do a little work on mine in that area.

mine has a form in the floors glasswork that the counsel lies next to, its screwed into that form.

Deck Drain Leaking
 

Hello I am new to this site and need some advise.

My son bought a 1973 20 Sc and it has deck drains that go thru the hull. One is leaking at the bottom and I need to know how it is assembled so I can take it apart and repair. I see it has a Brass Thru Hull Nut is it a brass pipe to the deck?
