20' seacraft history

[edloh]

thank you for the input. notice that a couple of members mention that the ride is a little wet. how about the ride quality from a 'pounding' standpoint for this boat. for instance, looking at the picture of the red seacraft in the main website, how hard did it land on its way back down? did the "seacraft" hull did the trick to a certain extend?

The only way to answer your questions is for you to go down to your local marina and offer some guy a cold beverage or two for a 20 minute ride in his boat. Coming to a website that is dedicated to a certain brand of boat will get you a string of very biased opinions. If most of us didn't like them, we wouldn't own them [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

As to pounding, I presume an SC20 rides as well in the chop as any other 19' boat. Better than some, but there are likely others that do nearly as good.

Elpez,That boat rides very soft,but very wet.Trim tabs help on both,however,the real equalizer is the throttle.When it gets nasty you HAVE to pull her back.My 25' boat that I run now is an abosolute pleasure to fish out of but not near as comfortable of a ride as your boat.It will run 40 kts,but very rarely can I run her much past 20kts.

As to pounding, my Seafari responds well but she does pound a bit in quartering seas, if you take them head on there's almost none. She does pound less at higher speeds when her whole hull gets into the act but a short choppy bay taken at 45 degrees will play hell with your back!

Bot, Your right, with a little speed you don't even feel the chop.
