Keep it simple. Rebuilding a 20 into a no frills fishing/work boat.
Hey all. I figured it was time to start my own build thread. I am not new to boats or fiberglass work, but I am new to SeaCrafts, so I will ask a lot of questions. I plan to copy a lot of the work done by some of the CSC masters. I got this boat off the CSC classifieds a year or so ago and I'm finally getting around to working on it. It's primary use will be transportation to our island house in Narragansett bay in Rhode Island with a focus on fishing the bay area there.
Currently I have the boat off the trailer and on "stands" so I can work. The transom restore is complete and I plan to bracket this 20" Super Fisherman. I plan to keep it simple. No livewells or even fishboxes (but maybe) because I fish mostly lures and I dont eat fish so I catch and release. This boat will be the lifeline of the island house as there is no ferry or any other way to access this house. It needs to be able to carry a decent amount of cargo and dogs to our vacation getaway.
I've attached a few pics of the boat. Some of you may remember it from the classifieds. We worked out a good trade that was good for both of us. Looking forward to the feedback because without this board I would not have had the ambition to build this boat. Thanks everyone!!!!!
