Get it for 3500 and go to it - probably only reason its called a 2007 is because that's when the "new" title was issued. If S/N and title match go for it. Great boats - and yes the hull sides will flex a bit.

That don't look like the original Hin stamp, It looks like a copy over the original. It could be and looks like a real seacraft Hin from 75 tho. The ones I have all seen the numbers and letters are pressed inwards. Yours the stick outwards and the box is cocked sided. Looks like it either was redone or the really f-ed that one up at the factory. My guess is they made a molded the original Hin which would reverse it then applied it back on, and crocked at that. If it is not the original off of that hull it was molded off of another hull. The shape and font looks legit just reversed where some one popped it off of the original. I know where people have done this after changing transoms from the outside. I could of been where they just re-applied the number back to the hull after some repairs where they sanded it off. -OR- it could be where some one took a cast off another sc hull and stuck it on this one because they lost the tittle maybe. The only way you may could tell is to sand it off and try to see what shows under it. May not be anything left but it is possible there could be and it would show threw if lightly sanded..

That's the value I figured it's worth. Offered that on the spot. He was asking 6,500. Got him down to 5.

I've looked at others that the owners were firm at 5 for, and this one is much nicer. We'll see. Going to look at a 23' Straight inboard tomorrow, my dream boat. I'll be into this 20 the same if not more then the 23 by the end of the refit so may pull the trigger on the 23.

Thanks all! Hoping to be a real part of the seacraft owners club soon!

The HIN was made with old school label maker and painted over...

Notice the hollow behind the broke out numbers..

Just my 2¢ worth !

Too many if's for me.

No bones is right. I might be less work to start with strips of wood and cold mold one like Shine, than deal with the Florida DMV to straighten the paperwork out on this one out.

Just a question for those who might know, would the letters MA in that HIN stand for Master Angler?

That boat is not an MA. I do not recall any letters after manufacturer?!? Beside the fact that they attempted to fill/putty the inlay for a centered and level original HIN USED to be!

Do not have reg for my '79 MA with me. However, '77 is SECC SIX DIGITS 77.
Quite certain I am correct.

No, the Model is "F" for SF
4th letter on the SeaCrafts of this era represented a somewhat logical code of the model.

F was super fisherman, V was SeaVette, R was Seafari, and so on...

The "0" following the F is for 20'

The "M" simply represents "Model Year." "75" in this case, and the "A" represents August I think - A thru L = Aug. thru July.

Yachtie, Nice choice on the 23. Post up yer HIN and we'll learn something else, that a pretty rare rig I think...
