Factory Options

[thehermit]

Gang, Just a stranger here but am wondering about different factory options that may have been available on some of the 20' models. I am the very happy new owner of a 1974 SF 20 (purchased from MassBass via the site) . It does not have the unique non-skid pattern on the deck some like other 74's in the gallery. Also the fuel tank is in the console rather than under the deck. I could go on to mention that the rubrail is stainless instead of the black and the "SeaCraft" hull stciker is black letters on a white background instead of just letters on the hull. Were these just different options availabe for the original buyers to choose from or should I be taking a closer look at that serial numebr to confirm the year of the boat?
Thanks
Great site-look forward at being around for a while.

Hi Hermit, the fuel tnak should be in he floor They started that in 74' some where on the site is a list of options, I think that canvas cushons, gel coat color and seats where about all you had a choice on. What is the hull number on it? Maybe the floor has been re done and some on installed the tank in the console?? Heres a list of options for 74' http://www.classicseacraft.com/broch...4pricelist.jpg Look here for some more info http://www.classicseacraft.com/broch...ure/index.html
the last two digits on the hull number will give you the year it was made might be a real early 74??

My 1972 20' I/O had the gas tank in the console.

My 1970 20' has a 40 gallon tank under the console.

Gang, Good info. The boat has a title that calls it a 1974. After looking at some of the info (thanks for linx JonG)and some of the replies it seems like a 1970-73. The boat is all original condition and in good shape. The SeaCraft tag is in the slpashwell, is that where the serial number is? I can barely read the thing I will try to post the #s. Maybee its a late 73 or ealry 74

Look for the hull number on the outside of the transom on the rightside near the top in the gelcoat. If its not there its probably pre 72', if I remember right before 72' they didn't need hull numbers.
