Agree that its most likely a late 60's era model. they used those metal placards till late 72 I believe? after that they started stamping the Vin on the transom...I think thats the boat that has been for sale for quite a while down there...advertised as mostly a fresh water boat?
To answer your question about the below the deck drains..well they worked really well till they didn't..thats how they were built with the cockpit deck drains going strait down...there are stories of those failing and you can guess the rest of the story...most of the restores you see will have the deck drains re routed out the transom.. Good luck in your search as there are few Seacrafts here in Calif...there was a 20 sf on face book 6 months or so ago...up here in N. Calif....I went to look at it but walked away as it was in really rough shape...I would say be prepared to drive some distance for the right boat...I know of two seacraft enthusiasts (or dummies however you think about it) that recently drove half way across the country to trade boats...
