Re: Separation of hull to stringers and ribs

Re: 1969 20' engine choice
I haven't made up my mind completely but I think I may be leaning toward the 150 now. Over the 45 years I've been around boats, I have rarely heard anyone really unhappy about being overpowered but...

Re: What year is my 20? Can anyone tell me.
Well, I just bought a 1969 20 ft seacraft. She seems to be in good shape, esp. for a boat that old. This owner bought her from the original owner in 1970 and has owned her since. As stated in an...

Thanks for all your help and especially for that layout link.
Noticed earlier in this post that you identified a boat as pre-1972. How did you know that? I've searched the board for clues...

Re: 20 SeaCraft
Thanks a bunch. I guess it's just a some do some don't thing. I have no doubt the transom needs replacing.
