Re: 75 Seafari 20'
Welcome to the site - that's a clean looking rig! Looks like that V-6 saves considerable space compared to the old I-4! Probably room to install a larger fuel tank if needed.
I've owned my Seafari over 32 years. It's the most versatile 20' model - fishing, cruising, diving, camping - they can do it all. The later models like yours have a different windshield and a better cabin top layout than the earlier ones.
A couple of observations: The aft rollers on trailer should be under the transom; not sure, but it looks like your boat could come forward on trailer a foot or so - you have room to move the winch stand. Would increase trailer tongue weight which generally makes for more stable towing. Also, I prefer having the VHF antenna on port side so it's not in the way if I have to get on the bow in a hurry to handle an anchor. You can also brace antenna and bimini top off the side of the windshield to take some of the bending load off the deck - I posted some photos a couple of months ago showing how to do this.
