Default the 20 is coming along. The gunnels and forward deck fish box area is removed

after I had the transom all glassed in and the boat shape stabilized. I could not believe some of the features that are possible with a one level deck on a 20 ft sea craft.




Here is the new old console highly modified with a coffin feature in front and a built in electronics area.


The side lower part is made for standard 30 degree rod holder.

The coffin will have a live well and ice chest or small fish box also. all above deck. Then I ended up with a 60 + inch long x 24 inch wide and at deepest I think it was 18inches? under the deck tuna fish box. No it won't fit a giant.

A friend bought a 20' SeaCraft a couple of years ago, not sure of the year say 2009, and it's got a flat floor. Just too cool!! I really like the coffin modification.

I've always wondered why guys would eliminate the forward casting deck because that's where most of the storage is in these boats. I really like your solution. I will definitely consider something similar if/when it comes time to restore my 20. It's really going to make the boat more fishable.
