1971 Seacraft 20 Complete Restoration
I started working on my new project which is a 1971 seacraft 20 that somebody else had stopped in the middle of the restoration. I bought the project which previous owner had done a great job but just stopped because he bought a new boat. The whole transom was cut out and replaced with Marine Plywood and lots of Glass. The whole floor was ripped out up to the front casting deck. All foam was removed so its just stringers under the new floor with no foam. The whole boat was done using epoxy resin so I will continue using epoxy to complete project. The floor was raised 3 inches and new floor is Marine plywood with glass on both sides and all edges were coated with epoxy so there is no water intrusion or rot. The floor is solid right now but I am going to put some more braces on top of two center stringers up to the bottom of the deck. The guy did a great job. The bilge was coated with an epoxy paint including the fuel tank coffin box. I am going to try and work on this as much as I can as I am out of work right now. I just bought a Suzuki 140 four stroke with 0 hours on it so the power is ready to go. Transome was raised to 25 inches as well. There were custom livewell and storage boxes in the back that I cut out with a sawzaw today as I wanted to be able to walk all the way to the transom and open up some more space. I will be glassing the holes up tomorrow hopefully. Enjoy!
