Appears I would have to remove aluminum rub rail to access screws to remove cap. I guess I should add pics to my thread. Nice job documenting your progress. Keep at it.

I didn't think that the 20' hull had a removable panel on the inboard model. The seafari 20' I owned was an outboard model and it was just like the rear of a sf or sceptre. I would think the back of your would be just like my 20' sceptre (I did the same conversion to it). Yours should have the jump seats on either side of the engine box, that have flip up seats. You can take the screws out of the aluminum rail and that will release the lip section but you will have to cut the lower part under the uprights on the seats and also cut the gunnels on each side of the boat. There will be a lot of potter putty (thickened resin) behind the back rest liner section bonding the inner liner to the front of the transom as well that will make it hell to get out. Look on my 20' sceptre thread below and you will see how I did mine. You say something about seems? I don't remember any seems?
