Talking Best Riding Seacraft

Like Carl Moesley said foot for foot its the 21!- No question about it
If anyone wants a ride in a 21 ring my buddy Steve or me up for a fishing trip....
I know where a 21 can be had, I'm sure it will cost you to own the very rare once in a lifetime dream..

Default 83 20sf

Just bought a nicely restored Seacraft and repowered with 2015 175 Suzuki. Runs great, but I need some feedback on how to properly trim the boat out. I have tabs, and the engine is about 3 inches high. It seems to porpoise when I try to trim up like my old seapro 1700cc. Is the Seacraft supposed to ride with more of the boat in the water. So riding on the V?

What does the engine weigh? Bracketed? I'm assuming its a 20. Those boats like small light engines and brackets make a heavy engine worse.


Likely the boat is stern heavy. Tabs help but don't really get at the problem. If its stern heavy, think about moving as much weight(batteries, fuel) as far forward as possible. Somebody else should address engine height.

that engine weighs 474 lbs according to my research, if that is true then you are about 174 lbs over the recommended weight.

The original boat spec'd I pulled have a max motor rating of a 175hp. Of course this would have been a 380 pound engine back then. The boat doesn't porpoise unless I try and trim up like my bay boat. 3 batteries are under the console closer to the front of the boat. Real question is ride. Are these hull designs meant to ride with more of the boat in the water than a bass boat? My seapro hull was similar to a bass boat versus this boat
