Does anyone happen to have a copy of the old Mariner outboard ad that appeared in magazines in the mid-70's that featured a SeaCraft 20 being run by guide Ralph Delph? If so, could it be posted on this site? Thanks for your help!

I think it is Ralph Delph's Sea Craft out of Key West.

Guess I should have read your post RE Delph.

Yep that's Ralph and it looks like the angler is Jim Anson.

Cool pic. I have a 72 SF20 with a 1980 Mariner 115 inline-6. The original owner who sold me the boat said that it had not been started in 17 years and really had not been used since he left Florida in the 80's. The motor still had all the lower unit paint so I believed him when he said it had less than 20 hours on it. Of course it was faded and the wiring, hoses, and water pump had dry rotted. I took it to the ramp and it actually started but all the hoses broke and gas was shooting out in all directions but it was still running. I replaced the water pump, all the hoses, and some of the wiring including the stator but it needs a new switchbox and I can't use it (the motor) since I am about to raise my transom and the motor has a 20" shaft. I was kind of thinking of giving it away if somebody from CSC wanted it, but most of you guys are a long way away.
