1978 Seacraft 20MA newbie

Nope!. Wish it did. Would have made things a bit easier.The previous owner had a 100 Gallon tank in it that wasn't installed. Don't know what he would have needed that much gas for but that tank almost took up space from bow to stern. Glassed in some new support walls etc. Went with a new 62 gallon tank.

I believe that my tank was 68-70 gallons, the larger option over the 40 or so. I'm going to replace with same. Keep up the good work. Any word from your boys at Conch? They do some really cool shit over there. I'd be interested in their opinion ( and Price ) of bringing that cap back.

I don't know the conch guys just someone that works with/for them.As for the Cap I'm ok with it lowered. I've accepted it. Almost like a hybrid between an SF and MA now. I mostly do inshore fishing and some reef fishing but ill venture out on calm days, then hit the sandbar with the kids. I'm excited for the end result.

Just sharing my progress. Got it sitting a new trailer and on its way to glass in the console, fabricate TTOP and leaning post. Still on the fence if i should do Bolsters.

Picked up from Hermco a new Bracket. Let me tell you that when I purchased his bracket it was on pure Seacraft FORUM feedback and i wasn't let down.

I spent days traveling the streets of Miami and would just hear the negativity on going with a fiberglass bracket. Since i enjoy going against the grain and followed everyone's feedback I can honestly say I am very Happy with it.

I have show it to many well qualified fabricators and they were impressed with his workmanship and gave it an A+

Here are some pics...
