Bracket on a 20 Master Angler

Roger your boat looks good...even if I only see the stern area.

I'm glad the ball scuppers resolved the "wetfeet issue" Do you have anymore pics of your boat or the process involved in taking it apart.? If so I'd like to see them.

I looked at the boat again today and it appears to have a solid both, floor and transom. It's hard to believe but my 210 pound arse jumping up and down on the deck and hanging on the old "rude" of the transom didn't really make it move much. The only thing I saw that worried me were rust stains where the back eye rings go. Could it be possible a 78' hull has solid transom?

Yes Trayder, your boat is indeed a "wreck" you should be ashamed of yourself for slapping together such a hunk.

There is an older post here

I've also made some other minor changes and added a contender style recessed rail.
I also slightly modified the ball scuppers because I was getting water in the boat when in calm conditions. However, at the dock, with no one in the boat, she self bails just fine.

BTW, the guy that did my gel coat didn't think I needed a transom since it moved so little. I insisted and once he opened her up saw that it was all rotted. Apperently SeaCraft did not skimp on fiberglass in this area. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Gradysailfish, after reading your unwarranted post at another site, I'm thinking you may want to go with a different boat for a restoration project. Especially since your here to pick the brains of the experienced restorers.
And after reading threw all you posts here on CSC I have seen nothing to justify a comment as that.

This sort of crap steams a hell of a lot of folks around these parts. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I'm sorry I guess you guys took that post too seriously!

I was kidding around with the classicmako guys, and with whom I've posted on before and more times then on classicseacraft. Frankly speaking, I never thought I would run into a classic seacraft of the kind I ran into. I really stumbled upon her in the back of a boat yard, made an offer and she became mine. Seacraft are much rarer (at least in this are then makos). I always thought of picking up an old mako.

If you guys were offended I apologize and will make up with ample amounts of boat porn within the next few months.
