Re: Hallmark Marine
This is an Answer Craft knock-off. similar to the SeaCraft, but w/o the Variable Dead-rise Hull. The Florida Marine Patrol used 17', 20', and 21' Answer Craft CC for it's patrol boats from 1977 thru 1991.
The 20' is actually 19'8", weighed 1590 lbs dry, and was rated for a single 235 hp OB. We rigged several of them at my marina in the early 80's. Only one inner chine set, that beginns exactly like a SeaCraft, ie; no flat surface against the water, but transitions to a regular hard chine about halfway back. It gives you a nice soft ride trimmed down, but it can jar your teeth at speed.
By the way, the 20' Answer IS a knock-off of the 20' SeaCraft, albeit with the hull mods to avoid lawsuits while SC still had active patents.
