Re: fuel tank relocation
I just had a lot of work done on my 1970 20', and the next project is to put a bigger tank in the floor - I'm thinking 80 gal. The stringers allow for a 22" wide tank I believe so I will probably...

Re: battery placement
I have mine (2 batteries with perko switch)on the floor under the center console on my 20'. It's easy to get to and keeps the weight forward and allows use of any size battery.

Reason to buy a Honda
Back in 1999 I got a 130 for my 20' CC. This motor performed perfectly - smooth quiet and extremely fuel efficient, I swear this motor makes gas. Recently I get a memo from Honda saying they have...

Re: Rodholder cavity length on older 20'
My biggest boat rods are 7' and they fit easily in the under gunnel racks on my 1971 20'. A 9' rod is kind of big for boat use - How are you fishing and what species are you targeting?

Re: power on 20' classic
35 mph with a 90 is questionable. My experience with the 20' is that a 115 would be the smallest motor to put on that hull. 130 - 150 is a good choice for the 20 - so if you can get it for a good...

Re: Start of the 21 Production?
I was in Outdoor World (Dania Fl.) looking at the new SeaCrafts and noticed that the new 21' looks more like my 1971 20' (than the new 20'). Both the new 21 and my 20 have a raised deck in the bow -...

Re: Bracket on 20 CC
I have a 20' CC in the middle of a transom redo and chose not to go for the bracket based on cost. My Honda 130 has a 20" shaft and to extend to 25" would run over $1500.00. If cost was not an issue...

Re: Price of 20 CC
JohnC,
What year is your hull? Most of the older hulls will need some major work and any that have been restored will command a high price - just check the market and you'll see what I mean. Older...
