I tell people you need one or the other. Yesterday $700.00 to go from the end of the Barge Canal to the ramp at the end of 40 in Yankeetown @ $240.00 per hour!

Strick, I do miss the yellow Seacraft but it wasn't in the cards to keep it and not use it. I put my first transom and deck in a 17ft. Ski Barge to use as an inshore/swallow water TB so maybe a 20 SC project could be upcoming.

I LOVE my 20. It is so versatile. I will probably never sell it and it will get passed down when I croak. You can do so much in it. Tilt up the motor and drop the Motorguide in and plug in 2 feet of water. If the weather picks up No problem ride the waves home in security. You wont regret a 20sf

I echo that about my Seafari. I usually fish in 3'-10' of water, but not always. I got caught by a cold-front squall back in '01 when I had a just the original Chrysler 120hp on the back and couldn't outrun it. 30 miles offshore, 4 second wave intervals, heavy chop on 5'-7' seas, running before the wind and seas, and had my wife and daughter along. I came down to displacement speed, and ran the back of the wave.
I was never so glad to own a SeaCraft.
