Before you pull the trigger with a builder not familiar with the older hulls, please educate yourself, always comparing apples to apples. After completing your research, contact Jeff at Owens and Sons, Aluminum Slide-On. I have had two custom built for my 15 Whalers, one for my brothers 18 SF, one for my neighbors 16 Carolina Skiff, and another friends 18 Century. Jeff knows SeaCraft hulls going back to his Dad's days of building custom trailers. Minor adjustments to final product may be required, but in comparison, you will be most satisfied.
Calculate miscellaneous upgrades, ie., submersible LED lights, brakes, stainless steel hardware and torsion axles, plus shipping from St. Petersburg, Fla., and you will be happy. Best of luck.
