An introduction....

Hi all,

I’ve been lurking here reading up and enjoying the photos for the past couple months. I’d been looking for a 20’ SeaCraft for a couple months when I found this one – the boat will be a fishboat used 99% on Long Island Sound and will be a trailered. I’d seen several 20’ SFs, but when I saw this Seafari I bought it on the spot – love at first sight, I suppose.

Boat is a 1972 and I can’t see that any major work has been done on it. Floors are all soft, transom a bit swollen, but boat seems to be in great condition for almost 40 years old, my plan is strip to the bare hull, close in transom, raise floor, add a bracket, etc… a total refurb. I’m planning to start to tear it apart in February, and I’m actively accumulating ideas.

I know there are several boats here of the same vintage. Anyone have any commentary on this particular boat? Interesting features, quirks, etc???
