As the owner of a 72 Seafari, I have to say, I think you are mad! Just kidding, but there is SOOOO much work in what you described, that it defies description why you would do that to this style boat at all - when a good project center console hull is fairly easy to find to start with - for free or virtually free. There is plenty of room for two people to fish this hull, and I cannot tell you how many times I have heard guys that own CC's tell me they wished they had my boat with the windscreen - for themselves, not just for their wives and girls. Stepping down into the footwell and getting behind the windscreen while driving in rain is actually pleasant! And financially, it is a sure way to the poor house - there is no way you can do what you described in LESS than double what starting with a CC hull would cost. Sorry, but my 2 Cents. Good luck what ever way you go, but knowing that only 350 Seafaris were made in 20 foot size, I winced reading your plans....
