I've been reading this forum and admiring the boats on here for a while and I am finaly looking at getting my first boat and I may have found her.
I've been looking at a 76 20' SF that was recently redone and powered by a 95 200hp Evinrude vindicator. I was wondering if this big of an engine will kill the draft since I was hoping to still do some deeper flat fishing with this in Tampa Bay. Another big question is does anyone know a rough weight of a rig like this on a dual axel trailer will weight? Also does anyone have any opinions on this boat as an offshore/inshore boat?
Thank you

A) these really aren't skinny water boats, regardless of engine
B) the hull is roughly 1,650#, add fuel/engine/trailer weight to that figure
C) "offshore".....all depends on how far that is from your launch site. Keep in mind that it is a 19'6" boat. That being said, my '71 20' had wahoo, sailfish, cobia, dolphin, tunny, and countless other species come over the gunnels in the past six months.
