I'm lovin the pix of the stern interior -

CSN and I have a seperate discussion ongoing about mods to the rear end of the 20' seafari - I would love to see more detailed pix of the inside stern of yours - looks like you had the same outboard notch size as mine, and your design could be directly applicable to mine.

thanks

Bill-

yes, the sterns of the 20's are the same, I thinkk 90% sure, so my mod would work fine on your boat.

Check out the post of the restore in the photos section that was just added by riffraff. He did another nice mod.

Trayder,
Very nice work on the boat. Can you give some detail on cruising speed, wide open speed and fuel burn at those speeds. I'm thinking of getting the same motor for my project when complete. From the little that I have researched, that motor seems to be very affordable for a good 4 stroker. Thanks -will

In MPH the boat cruises in the high twenties to low thirties and I have hit 45 messing about with light load short chop.

There are a ton of 20's that have been repowered with the Suzuki 140 4stroke and everyone I have talked with that has done this re-power is thrilled.

My boat is a bit of an oddball on weight, since I replaced everything with Nida-Core the hull is increadibly light. I have been able to put it up on (2) Saw Horses without the engine... [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
