Gb's right... Nice boat for that size and well put together...

Jeff - that Seacraft rep is apparently a little deserved but not as bad as reported to be. I guess there are problems of people putting too much motor on top of some of the earlier 20 footers only using a 20" shaft transom, taking a bit of a wave, backfilling and going down. Other problems "supposedly" are fixed with updating the way the boat bails... One of the newer members here, Trayder, runs a site for older Seacrafts, http://classicseacraft.com , and there has been some discussion on that and some owners have made improvements. Just building up the transom to 25 inches is a major upgrade in seaworthyness.

Personally, I was looking at an older one and would have gotten it. One certain aspect of keeping a boat on top of the water is how it handles the sea and those Seacrafts have a great rep for that... Next year, almost certainly, I'll have a 20SF CC or 23SF CC...
