Hang in there Diablo. Its worth it to get the boat you want.

I spent a couple of years searching for my 25 Seafari and then bugging the poor guy who finally sold it to me. Worth every minute.

Not sure if your looking for a project, but there's one sitting at goldsmiths marina/boatyard in southhold on Long Island. It's a 74 if I remember. She's in rough shape, but she looks to be all there and it looks like she's been sitting ther for a while so u might be able to get it cheap

For its size, I think the 18 is a better running/ riding boat than the 20: but it is still an 18 foot boat that will almost fit inside a 20. The 20 doesn't quite run as well, but it is wider and longer, and a good running boat. A good running 20 foot boat will out perform a great running 18 foot boat.
I have to disagree with you on a good running 20 foot boat will out perform a great running 18. I have a 1976 18 foot cc went fishing in 4 foot seas a friend had his 21 foot cc don't remember the brand but he couldn't keep up and turned around and went home.

Snookered, What kind of power are you running on your 18. I keep looking for a nice 18 that I can put my 115 opti on but have not come across one yet. Wondering if my trailor which I bought 3 years ago for 17 mako would work for 18 seacraft.

Also do you need to run trim tabs to really improve the ride. Thanks.
