20 Seavette
 

Ok, BruceB started it. While we're fantasizing about Classic Seacrafts that were never built, how about a Seavette 20?. Take an old 20 Seafari, cut the cap down, build a foredeck and windshield that's a scaled down version of the 23 Seavette, fit it out with a 4.3 MPI 220hp I/O with an engine box that spans from gunwale to gunwale with a cushion on top to create a seat/tanning deck. Put in seating like one of the small older Donzis or Novas and go for a run on the river.

If I was insane, I would run over to Jacksonville and pick up wtenglish's '71. But unlike strick's post in Repairs/Mods, mine would be called "I need a divorce attorney."

Why not start with a 20 Sceptre - most were outboards but had the swept back windshield

I have a great one if you ever need her. Between attorneys, shrinks, ex wife, fiancees and kids it's a wonder that I have any money left over to spend on old broken down boats! :D

That's funny Strick, makes me wonder if I should make nice with my ex so I can borrow some of MY money from her highness. Lol

There's a '67 19' SeaCraft for sale in Alabama with the original V8 OMC stringer-drive in it. Only $650 including trailer. I wish I had $650. That would be the boat to start with.

But if I bought it now, I'd need a divorce attorney, too!

I thought about building a 27 Seavette and make it like my 23, just bigger. :D

Re: 20 Seavette
 

27 Seavette? According to the production numbers, Potter built three of them. All you have to do is find one. :D It'll be right next to the elusive Scampi.

The story is they all went over seas. Probably find one out in a rice field or something like that. :eek:
