"Mango" appears to be an old SeaBird hull or possibly a John Allmonds. If you notice the sides near the transom, there is a slight outward curvature to the hull. I've got an old '23 Bird that's going to be redone in the future. There were several early 70's Florida boat builders that had similar hull designs, however.

I know 'Birds also came in a 20 or 21 foot version, personally have not seen one... Dunk from the WMI board use to have one at one time. He gave me a little info on 'Birds before I got one. The pictures of the 20 foot "SeaCraft" doesn't appear to have the variable deadrise, but could very well have the deep 24° deadrise and wide chines found on a 'Bird or Allmonds hull. The photo of the transom shows the chine and deadrise of the hull... this is identical to what is found on the 'Bird. It appears the transom has been cut and modified to take an outboard.
