SeaCraft 20 Master Angler

Author: Dean Travis Clarke
The morning dawned flat calm with a light fog on the water's surface; I couldn't imagine a more peaceful setting. As we idled out across the glassy bay on Florida's Gulf coast to head for snook, trout and redfish in SeaCraft's 20 Master Angler, I realized that today's new breed of bay boats can be considered the SUVs of fishing. They offer a deadrise to smooth offshore seas but a draft to run in the shallows, making for great utility.

halibut coming up to feed near the surface. In fact, the largest halibut taken during the first few weeks of the resort's operation, pounder, caught by anglers trolling for salmon. Cuthbert says the anglers needed three hours to land the fish using the standard long, pound test. He adds that the halibut in Oswald Bay (just inside Le Jeune Point) "are coming up from as much as 100 feet of water to grab herring trolled within 20 feet of the surface."

Pastor Gary contrasted Moses’ investment in Joshua with Solomon’s lack of investment in Rehoboam. I introduced the concept of the Joshua Paradox (”Moses groomed Joshua and others to lead in his absence, but Joshua’s generation failed to reproduce the investment — and their children and grandchildren paid a steep price”), and from there focused on the failure of successive generations to invest in the education of our children. 20.

Banc Of America Investment If you love the smoothness of a "heavy-boat" ride, then you'll love this classic 20. Even launching off the waves created by snowbirds in their big cruisers running the Intracoastal Waterway at half-throttle, the stern-first landing is barely noticeable. Trim tabs on this SeaCraft do a good job of adjusting fore-and-aft angle but have relatively little effect side to side. I found most trim needs easily answered through engine trim.

Fish the west coast of Florida inshore or offshore with Capt. Jim Roberts aboard the Reeldreams. Sarasota is a beautiful resort town located 50 mi S. of Tampa. With great beaches, superb dining, shopping, and fishing, what better place to spend a family vacation. Capt. Jim runs a brand new 20' Seacraft and supplies bait, tackle, license, drinks and your chance at a trophy gamefish.

Banking Investment The quiet OptiMax 150 didn't even hint at smoke upon the morning's cold start. Once out to open water, it lifted the SeaCraft onto plane quickly and with remarkably little bow rise. My hand-held GPS pegged top speed with the single outboard at 44 mph. A comfortable cruise speed seemed to be about 35 mph.

Investment Solution Strategic Trim the engine down and carve cruising-speed turns as tightly as you want. I was unable to break the rear end free. SeaCraft is using only Lenco electric trim tabs now. I'd opt for the Lenco tab-mounted trolling motors, too. Not only do they work great for chasing nearshore fish like tarpon, bluefish or stripers, they handle backcountry well. They also eliminate trolling-motor clutter on the bow or those ugly vertical motors on the transom. You'll definitely need trolling motors if you like to pull live baits, since the 150 OptiMax moved us too fast at idle.

Alternative Investment The foredeck isn't as big as that on a flats skiff; nonetheless, it serves well as a casting platform for cast netting or fly casting and provides gunwales wide enough to walk on around the front half of the boat. The 20 remained quite level with an angler on the bow and me on the gunwale. I particularly like the simplicity of the baitwell with both a straight flow-through and a pump. Fishing from the stern or atop the baitwell or rigging hatches in each corner is acceptable if you don't move around much.

Guide Investment Stock It's hard to honestly refer to this as a center-console with the helm so far aft. But it sure makes for great fishing room forward and amidships. SeaCraft pulled a plug from a 30-year-old hull to make the mold for this boat. Fortunately, you won't find a single change made to the original hull; it's still the same classic 20 that proved itself so many years ago. Thanks to the experienced input of Lefty Kreh and Flip Pallot, the SeaCraft 20 serves as a monument to functionality. You'll be hard-pressed to find a cleaner or simpler boat.

Citicorp Investment Services The console even looks old-fashioned: It has an Edson aluminum destroyer wheel with a great "suicide knob." Brushed-aluminum plating backs the waterproof, old-style push/ pull switches, and the chrome-bezeled gauges all have that classic look as well. Just add electronics.

Fool Guide Investment Motley Every hatch, molded with deep drainage gutters, has a gasket around the opening to make it quiet and dry. Forward of the console, a centerline box, much like those found in the popular professional guide boats in Key West, provides storage for fish, ice, equipment or tackle. Separated into two sections, the front box uses a third of the space. A large in-deck storage area forward of that will accommodate your anchor and line, cast net in a bucket, and the like.

Fidelity Investment Services The SeaCraft 20 consists of three parts - hull, liner and deck - all built with more desirable vinylester resins, bi- and triaxial as well as knitted fiberglass, and Airlite coring in the hull. You'll find beefy stringers designed to provide strength while also tying the hull and liner together. The bottom also sports three distinct deadrises that make a transition to quite wide, flat chines aft for good roll stability. These same chines, however, keep you from using trim tabs to lean the weather side of the boat up very much in a beam-sea chop. Oh, well, everything's a compromise.

Investment Management I'm one of those who truly appreciate "old-fashioned" when it comes to boats. With its simple, traditional lines, I'd own a SeaCraft 20 in a heartbeat.
