Turning a 20' Seafari into a Ctr.console??

[bigeasy1]

Great help fom all of you,it's appreciated.The info on outboards is invaluable to me,as I've been into I/O's for the last 15 years or so.
I'm going to take a look at the boat again over the weekend to make sure that it doesnt need a total resto.If it's something I can use safely,I'm going to make him an offer.
Did they make the 20 sefari model with different transom heights??.For some reason I thought he told me that it needed a longer shaft outboard.That was a year ago however,so I may be confusing it with another conversation.
