Budget for Restoration

[Flyboy15]

If I purchase the 1976 Sea Craft 20FT SF that is posted for sale on this site. What would a good budget to complete the following:
1. Redo transom with 1.5" coosa board, raise 5 or 6 inches and the transom extension / motor mount / swim platform.
2. Fill stringers with foam, Raise stringers by 2 inches maybe 2.5 depending on what I decide for deck core.
3. Three sets of bulkheads into bilge, forward mid and aft with coosa
4. New Live bait well aft in the center of the stern.
5. Freshwater tank and under deck runs for wiring, fuel and OB
5. Deck, undecided at this point on what core material i will be using,
6. Reinforce the hull sides with thin corecell m80 and maybe add whatever coosa is leftover as light framework
7. New Center console and leaning seat. (T top can wait for now).

I am not looking to make it a show boat, just upgrade it to a solid fishing machine with good structure and work on "fit and finish" over 5 years. Robert

Including new fuel tank, wiring, plumbing??? $15kish if you're farming it out

15-17 total in a yard. At least that was my bill

It also depends where you are located. To me that looks like pretty much a total rebuild. Up north I doubt you could get that all done for anywhere close to 15K. Down south the work is a lot cheaper because there a lot more shops.

Agree, and he appears to be in GTown, SC.

I'll recommend G Crafts in Awendaw, SC. He performed the heavy/paint work on my 23'. I rigged and finished it. My 15K was a guess based on the work I had done.

Based on what others have done with the 20' , I would probably not go with a bracket but raise transom to 25" (or 30" if possible).

Thanks for the advise and referral. I am looking forward to doing the rebuild, once I get the 20 in hand. I will keep you posted on my purchase and progress. Best day ever, when I found this site. You guys are a great resource many thanks. Robert
