Cut-down 20' SeaCraft
I was down in the Keys again yesterday, and saw a '77 20 SeaCraft for sale in Big Pine that had been cut down into a flats skiff. At first I thought it was another knock-off, but when I asked the owner (at a gas station) he said it was a boat he had salvaged after Hurricane Charley. He cut the hullsides down by 12" at the bow, and 6 inches at the transom, and threw away the cap. He kept the liner and console, and made a new cap that's a full foot wide all along the gunwales. He had a Yamaha 150 mounted on a jack-plate.
I didn't have a camera, or I'd have taken pix. Has anyone else run into this boat? The owner says he lives on Sugarloaf.
