Is this boat a Master Angler?

If this is the boat then I don't think it is an original SeaCraft. While the sheer and lines look right, it has straight deadrise with traditional chines:

Pretty rough shape all around, but the power looks nice.

Thats a SeaCraft, same as the one in my Garage, someone did remove most of the inner liner at one point. no doubt a 20 CC

"Mango" appears to be an old SeaBird hull or possibly a John Allmonds. If you notice the sides near the transom, there is a slight outward curvature to the hull. I've got an old '23 Bird that's going to be redone in the future. There were several early 70's Florida boat builders that had similar hull designs, however.

I know 'Birds also came in a 20 or 21 foot version, personally have not seen one... Dunk from the WMI board use to have one at one time. He gave me a little info on 'Birds before I got one. The pictures of the 20 foot "SeaCraft" doesn't appear to have the variable deadrise, but could very well have the deep 24° deadrise and wide chines found on a 'Bird or Allmonds hull. The photo of the transom shows the chine and deadrise of the hull... this is identical to what is found on the 'Bird. It appears the transom has been cut and modified to take an outboard.

I had to go back and look at more SeaCraft photos. They too seem to have a slight outward hull curvature at the transom. I've never picked up on that detail from the one's I've seen. I do not think it is as pronounced as the 'Bird or Allmond's hull. One thing is for certain, they don't have the stepped deadrise hull like SeaCraft's.

I'll leave it up to the experts... I don't want to add to the confusion.

Mango looks like a SeaCraft to me-- variable deadrise, and the 20's do have that slight flair at the rear (which I consider to be a vital aspect of their exquisite lines).

I spoke to the owner of the MD boat. He said the hull is very rough, that the previous interior and floor work should be redone, and that the transom needs replacement. He also mentioned that it has a "bracket" of sorts. I guess that is the brace across the back and perhaps inside given the bolts.

It is a bit of a puzzler. It's a dead ringer for a Classic 20 except for the deadrise.
