Seafari - Thanks, that answered a lot of my questions! I will post them this weekend [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Ok here they are: http://www.theboatzone.com/gallery/SeacraftDocs

Do you know when that spec literature was released?

What I've gathered shows that the current "20 Classic" is the common "20" foot boat of the late 60's and 70's. The late 60's models were called 19 footers as that's what they are as it had an overall length of 19 and change (anyone have the exact length? Is it the same 19'6" of the 20 current Classic?). The newer "21" of the late 70s or early 80s and the 18 and 23 models all have that lifting strake running across the front of the sharpest entry point of the hull. This is absent on the early "20" and current 30 Classic models. But the new "21" model claims an 8' beam instead of the 7'6" on the older 80's version and 400 more pounds.

I'd be real curious if anyone else has more info to try to see when the 21 (or the bigger 20 depending on how & when it's labeled) came out. Chris, big thumbs up on that info, now I can really smell the wood buring [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Granted, this is some late night, in need of sleep rambling. I guess what I really need is a 23 hull that sank and has no motors for short money [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] , then I'll cut a foot off the back to get the true 22 model I want (that doesn't exist)...

John,
All the potter years till 79' were 19'8"
1600 lb hulls for CC. The tracker seacrafts
came out in 87. These were made at the Tampa
factory. Its Funny they didn't change the 20'
MA hull? I will Send you 79' and MA specs.

Chris

I have a 1984 that is the bigger 20'. I measured it at 20' 4 ". Would like to know who owned the company at that point in time.

Hey Rex...must have been CSY.

Hey squidrig,

Is that good or bad?

From what we understand rex, Very Good. CSY did not hold on to SeaCraft because it would have cost them to much $ to continue to build hulls as well as they were at the time. CSY still manufactures large cruising silboats.
