1989 20 Seacraft
Never had a Seacraft before and I'm looking at a 1989 with a 140 Suzuki.
Boat was recently redone by a boat yard. Seller mentioned Seacraft was bought by Tracker. Is this a concern? Was Potter the designer? What should I look for? Deck fuel tank and transom are newer as in redone within 2 years.... How fast should this boat run? I don't want to put my kids in a 40 knot death trap. What's the difference between the late 70's and late 80's 20 foot hulls? Thanks!!

That looks like a good find with nice power! Your console is much narrower than the one that came in my '89, definitely an improvement. Has it been changed? Also check carefully around the mounting screws for the console and leaning post for soft spots or any movement. Mine was soft around every screw. It was balsa core and the rot hadn't gotten too far out so I was able to cut out small circles of balsa and recore instead of having to do the whole floor. I responded to your other thread and I hope this helps.

Looks to be a nice hull, check for soft spots due to tracker used ply wood in the deck instead of the better balsa wood and it may rot out faster if water ever gets in it. The water will spread threw the ply much faster than balsa. Also check the transom for strength.
Is this the same one that had the yammaha on it that didn't run that has been repowerd?

Nice addition to your fleet, Capt. With probably one of the best power options for a 20' Seacraft. I think you are set for a while.
