77SceptorOB, Yes as far as I know Layson was the only authorized Seacraft dealer in the area. Eventually Boat Center (when it was in S. Miami) got the dealership too. Old man Layson was pretty tuff guy to make a deal with but I got the my 1975 20SF (with red color and options), Seminole trailer and Mercury 150HP for a total of $6500 rigged and ready to go. Purchased in June of 1976. Seemed like a ton of money at the time. I remember I could have got the 23' for another $1000 but could not afford it. The list price for the 20SF was about $4200 and the 23' was about 5400 as I recall. I bought mine from "JB" who was like used car salesman. Seacraft had just introduced the 20MA and I could have purchased either the 20SF or the MA for the same price. I liked the layout in SF better. I repowered my Seacraft about 6 months later when Mercury came out with the 175HP Black Max. Took a big hit on the trade but I had to have more power and go faster! Hell I was 26, what do you think?
