2005 20 seacraft
 

looking at a 2005 20 seacraft for my brother in law. Can any one give me info they may have on this boat including the material is in transome. Boat is all original with 150 merc and 360 total hours both hull and motor. Been on a lift it whole life in fort Meyers . we will be repowering with a new motor if we buy it. Thx Keith

These two pics are directly from a 2005 Seacraft brochure. Hopefully this will give you some good info.

Thx. something that concerns me is that I dont see a removable floorboard over tank location. i inspect my tank every year on my 23 and what if you need to replace tank do you have to cut deck?

Yes you will have to cut the deck. Good thing is the deck is "flat" - no step up and no other deck openings. You can see the tank via the rear starboard hatch - not very good view but you can see under the deck.
Mine is a 2003 powered by a 150 etec. Not a lot of storage but a nice little rig

No but I keep my eye on it. The deck would have to be cut to remove it...

Has anyone who has replaced the tank on the newer seacrafts modified the cutout piece to be braced screwed and caulked so as to be removable like my 23 potter for future inspection,maintenance or tank replacment?

Replaced mine on my 21 ...1998 Tracker..had it done at a shop here...was 95 gals...on mine they had to de rig everything at the console unbolt the t top from the deck along with the console, lift the console and t top off the boat ...cut around the outline along the floor. pull the section of floor and then pull the tank out....replaced with Molar plastic tank, and ran a 2x4 frame around the opening ,rested the cut out floor on the 2x4 and screwed down ...5200 the seam...after the console , leaning post and front cooler seat was put back on very little seam is visable....cutting a nice clean line is the ticket.

Thx Joe I figured consale had to come out. We are going over to look at boat and hopefully buy this weekend. Good news is tank is fine for now but the day will come and I thank all for help. The only thing I would do different is I would go with metal or aluminum tank. Keith

Does anyone know what year they went to no-wood construction on the 20 ?

I to have ask that along with what they replaced wood with and never got an answer. Let me know if you get info on that. Thx

I'm pretty sure any of the last era 97-2008 Seacrafts are completely composite.

My 1998 21 has no wood in it at all, not even a tooth pick ...lots of foam and composite, and nice solid laminate not a soft spot or stress crack anywhere not bad for almost 20yo.It has a few pieces of wood now since I replaced the tank, but nothing to rot or delaminate
