20 Seavette
Ok, BruceB started it. While we're fantasizing about Classic Seacrafts that were never built, how about a Seavette 20?. Take an old 20 Seafari, cut the cap down, build a foredeck and windshield that's a scaled down version of the 23 Seavette, fit it out with a 4.3 MPI 220hp I/O with an engine box that spans from gunwale to gunwale with a cushion on top to create a seat/tanning deck. Put in seating like one of the small older Donzis or Novas and go for a run on the river.
If I was insane, I would run over to Jacksonville and pick up wtenglish's '71. But unlike strick's post in Repairs/Mods, mine would be called "I need a divorce attorney."

Re: 20 Seavette
Why not start with a 20 Sceptre - most were outboards but had the swept back windshield

That's funny Strick, makes me wonder if I should make nice with my ex so I can borrow some of MY money from her highness. Lol

Re: 20 Seavette
There's a '67 19' SeaCraft for sale in Alabama with the original V8 OMC stringer-drive in it. Only $650 including trailer. I wish I had $650. That would be the boat to start with.
But if I bought it now, I'd need a divorce attorney, too!

Re: 20 Seavette
I thought about building a 27 Seavette and make it like my 23, just bigger.

Re: 20 Seavette
The story is they all went over seas. Probably find one out in a rice field or something like that.
