I agree, Sit a bit more or let him know that you have considerable transport costs to get it home and you need a better deal than that. I'd be willing to wager he has more room.

Loren you might want to check in with Outdoor World over near Baltimore. They are a SeaCraft dealer (duh...they own the brand) and I have seen SC20's go for around $27-28k there, all with Mercs (125 saltwater to 150 Opti) and alum. trailers.

They will likely run a Mercury sale at some point this winter, at which point another $500 comes off the price. However, they have a really bad reputation as a sales staff. They don't negotiate at all and if you don't want to buy the boat today they will not call you back.

Just my wee little opinion, but for fly fishing I prefer either the new 21's or the older 20's - both have a raised casting platform up front.

I have fished in the new 20's, both the classic layout as well as the master angler, but really prefer having the casting deck there. Others prefer a level deck, so take that issue into consideration. It's a personal preference thing, with one setup not necessarily being better than the other [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

If storage is an issue at all and you really want a new 20', you might want to consider the master angler version (what used to be called the Lefty Kreh model). I was at Bass Proshops this morning and looked inside the console on the new '04 20' Classic that they had on the floor - nothing but a forest of wires (ZERO storage).
