Default 1985 SeaCraft 20 Master Angler

I just thought ill also posted here to see if some one can point me on the right direction for some center console items.

I just bough my 1st SeaCraft... is a 20ft 1985 in pretty good shape. I need to touch up some battle scars, remove the thick protective botton paint, paint the entire boat, and redo the center console. In regards to the center console... i am looking for some SeaCraft classic gauges for the RPM, Fuel, and Volt.... can any one point me on the right direction as to where i can find those gauges? Thanks!

Here is my 2nd wife

Nice Master Angler but looks pretty damn nice - I heard that the crushed walnuts was the best material for getting bottom paint off as does less damage to the gel-coat. Not sure about strippers as I have never done it thank god

Interesting it has a counter rotating engine

You will need a winshield - its fast - there is a place close to you that I think may have the mold for a SeaCraft 20 - somebody will pop in with the name. Get clear, I hate my tinted one as you can't see if wearing sunglasses and its worthless at night.

I wouldn't think it would matter since it's was a center console...

Thanks Eggsuckingdog... the boat is pretty clean for its age... i just need to do some minor cosmetic gelcoat work to it, remove that bottom paint which seems to be the most labor intensive activity on this project... and design the center console how i like it... if any one knows the name of a place for the wind shield near or in Miami Fl... ill appreciate it... and i am still looking for some classic SeaCraft gauges for the center console... any one selling theirs? or knows where i can get them?

Not sure what you mean by classic gauges but they make some really nice looking gauges these days - you want nice gauges go checkout Scream & Fly those guys know pretty chit when they see it - they wax their lower units. checkout Livorisi or something like that very perty stuff
