Default Re: 1978 20 master angler

YOWZER --- man your in for a treat, I found out about SeaCrafts as a boat salesman in the 70's - SeaCraft - Mako- Grady and Stamas. I will say the Makos had some really cool consoles and were cheaper and it was hard to explain the difference. You my friend are in for a treat, we were one of the largest SeaCraft dealers ( good demographics) and I will say if somebody ever owned one they were done and never wanted anything else - that ended up including me. I also now have a 20 MA, actually I also believe but can't verify, its the exact first MA that I laid eyes on and wanted one, it was rigged by the sales manager Jack McGaughy, of Jacks Interbay Marine now. I had just bought an 18 and couldn't afford it anyway, but man that was a sweet boat, funny I think I have it. According to SeaCraft only 327 were ever built '75 to '80 and was built for live baiters, the SF was fine when dragging Hoo's but on our coast it was baitwells we needed, so in '75 it came out. Jack was a baitwell wizard, and designed the transom baitwell for the I/O 23's and did another in the new Grady Whites they incorporated the next model year - he would build his own molds and probably pestered Mr Potter to death.

Didn't really look but where are you?
