Looking for Love in all the wrong places, SO CAL
Not many Seacraft boats on the left coast and the few I have looked at are in need of seemingly major work. Today I finally looked at one that has been in my sights for awhile and it had some curious features. First of all the ID plate has been compromised and there was no visible SN. It is listed as a 21' however I walked it off at closer to 19'. Is it a SF20'?
There are holes below the water line one forward starboard side below the fish box and two aft serving as deck drains outlets. There is the standard drain located center bottom on the transom and then one more drain hole port side below the water line. At the risk of seeming ignorant of marine engineering is it effective or safe to have a deck drain going straight down?

Ugh NO, the ass looks OK, the bow NO !!
Something wrong on the keel..... The keels on a VDH do not have a lip on the cutting edge ..... The spray rail as well.. If it is a SeaCraft someone "presidential engineered" the structural integrity of the bow.......

Just got in from raising my engine up a hole and what do I see on the old CSC forum, built in spray rails that look to be about 1 1/2" or so. Sure not on my 23'er and I don't remember seeing those before on a 20'er. Plus Looks like the bow entry is rather square versus the SC which is a bit sharper, optical delusion?, need more pics. Strange.......

I went back this morning and took what I hope are better pictures.
Thanks for everyone's perspective and insights. David

Well, that first picture posted Spooked me a bit. It doesn't appear to be a Potter hull but someone tweaked the spray rail as Ken said. What does your title say?
Here's a Potter Hull pic with the bow lifting strake.

OK, your good..
Someone added the spray rails (glassed in) and beefed up the keel with a skid on it... They threw a coat of bottom paint on, so be weary of what lurks underneath of it.. It is a genuine SeaCraft !
