Etec 130 or 150 for 20 ft Master angler

Flatbroke, If you choose not to go with that 115 HO can you hook me up? That is a good deal and a great fit for the Seafari.

I concur with Bushwacker - the Seafari 20 is unique in that you will have a nimble boat with wide open speed and with guts to ride the storm out. I often wish mine was an i/o as we often get big swells on our rear going home and the closed transom is nice. I understand the need for a soccer field to fish from but cutting the Seafari is probably not the most cost effective move. I fish from atop the motor cover in i/o's all the time.

I sense you're in FL but the cuddy sure is a nice one for such a little boat. Especially if camping or getting caught in weather, or if someone is exhausted or hurt. You might try removing the windshield and seeing if you like that combo and then making you decision. I think guys on the board have done that with both the seafari and the original 21 with good looking and functional results. Good luck with your decision and welcome aboard
