Re: Getting a '77 20' CC SeaCraft redone
Your motor choice has definitely peaked my curiosity. I think moving the tank, moving the console, a front console livewell and glassing lead up front and losing the anchor locker might be in your future. I still don't know how much you'd like that monster hanging off the bracket, just physical size alone if nothing else. That's a lot of weight manipulation to deal with in a very small 20'. IMHO it's one thing to move the weight around that's in a boat or take some out by removing things in the current configuration, or using manmade composites for rehab. Even adding weight as ballast isn't a big deal if you keep it thoughtful and respectful. The weight of the hull will increase substantially after balancing it out the way you'd like. You could have someone put math to what you want to do but you will need a way to run it, over and over and over adding, moving weight before the final product. I personally can't see a great overall result, I could see a end result of a hull that has weight in it like two fat kids on a seesaw, fun though. That said, I'm sure you're not green about what's gonna need to be done based off of your locale and occupation. Imo Islamorada has some of the best fishheads, boaties I've seen. Btw great pics.
