1980"s era 20sf's
 

I should know this but just wanted to check with the pro's...I think I remember hearing that the later 80"s 20sf's are slightly longer then the earlier Potter era models? I see on the net where some are calling them a 21 rather then a 20. Also I remember something about a hook in the hull...I think that was on a 23 mold. Any thing in particular to watch out for if one was to re do a later 80's 20sf? Sandy I know you have one...

Hook was on the port side Sceptre 23'. After CSY around 1983 as I remember. I don't recall the 20' had changed in length ?

Sceptre Hook
 

If you search Bushwacker had some posts describing the hook. Don’t think it was on very many.

Doc, a 20 is a 20.
Nice to have you back.


Do you want my 20?

GFS will know for sure but I think you are right. My recollection is that the Tracker era(?) 20s were about 6" longer and had a slightly higher deck. The only hook I know of was on the 23 as Capt Chuck mentioned. I remember hearing about a slightly shortened 23 being sold as a 21 but that may not be accurate or it could have been a one-off; the beam would be the giveaway on that.

I have loads of old brochures at my office , but they made a 20 that was a bit bigger than the potter 20...but not a tracker...and they also at one time advertised the MA as over 20. If I remember I look over the brochures later

The 80's were 20 4" and the 70's were 19 6"

SCI raised the deck of the 20.

All very informative replies Thanks fellas. I've only seen one 80's 20 sf and it seemed a bit longer then the 69 20 sf I rebuilt several years ago. I did not measure it. Just doing some research and catching up. I have not been out on my boat in a very long time...It's ready to go for a short shake down cruise when I get the time. Bunch of other projects are keeping me off the water. :(

There is also a short spray strake under her nose.
Maybe they extended her beak a few inches???
