OK. After many searches of older posts with a similar topic, I have discovered that my 1974 20' is a 1970. Seems that the 1969 20's had some unique touches that mine does not have and the 1971's rod holder storage was moved forward where it seemed to stay for a bit. A few very nice members sent me a few PM's of there 1970 20's and well it's a match. I have already started de-construction and have the old motor off exposing the transom skin the the hungry skill saw and pry bar.
