Re: Scuppers on an 18

What year is your boat?

I owned a 1976 SeaCraft 18' and the floor drained into the bilge...

-Great little boat but the scupper design sucked and the floor was 2.5" lower than it should have...

Re: Looking to Buy

check your PM's

The only thing I can see from those photos is the metal plate on the transom which always deserves scrutiny.

Re: Transducer placement location 20cc?

I had mine in the bilge and it worked great. I wasn't about to have holes drilled in a brand new transom and don't particularly find external transducers attractive. Other than losing water temp...

Re: Power for 20'

14x20 stainless, pushes the boat at 41mph at 6K rpm. I sold the boat recently to forum member Old Bull but the boat can be seen in the gallery section under the heading "Mark's 1971 20'CC".

Re: Power for 20'

Agreed, I just HATED mine (140 Suzuki). It never hiccuped once in four years, fired up annually after six months of storage as if it has been running two minutes ago, was nearly silent at idle,...

Re: Free console,inexpesive steering helm

Re: 20 Master Angler 115 ETEC v. 150 ETEC

I agree and have the same boat/engine. The one caveat I would add is that four people is too many regardless of what engine is on that hull - there simply isn't space. If I frequently fished with...

Re: 20' CC Seacraft question??

every boat will be slightly different in fuel burn and speed but as more people post you will get an average. I have a '71 20CC with 140 Suzy 4-stroke and get 40mph with a full 75 gallon tank and at...

Re: buying a seacraft

After ascertaining that it has a clear title, I think the floor and transom are the two biggest issues - and either can be fixed. Without a clear title, I'd walk away from even the best of deals.

trailer/aluminum cleaner?

I have my (rather costly) aluminum boat trailer parked beside my house in Florida and due to the number of trees around, it's in shade nearly all day long. As a result of a humid climate, rain, etc....

Re: 1981 project 23

I don't know what all you want done when the words "restore" and "refurbish" are used but it is not at all difficult to run the numbers up fairly quickly when having boats redone. .....or so I'm...

Re: Painting Console Help?

The bronze thru-hull typically has a flange that may have worn/broken off.

Re: rod holders open to bilge?

That's the easiest fix right there. ...or, I've seen people just have the liner cut out of the boat and that solves the problem as well /forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Nearly all the rubber in the world comes from that area (we certainly don't grow it here).

Some of my Shimano reels are made in Malaysia, most everything in stores is made in China. We've done a...
