I believe the CG of planing hulls is normally measured from the transom heel (the point where the keel intersects the transom). It is usually measured as a percentage of static wetted length.
The static wetted length of a 20' Seacraft is about 17.5'. I've been told that a typical CG should be at about 33% of static wetted length, which would put the 20' Seacraft CG about 5'-9" forward of the transom heel. This is not gospel, just some preliminary calcs I've done preparing for my own 20' resto.
