BS- Would you agree with my assessement that the popular/uneducated opinion is that the Potter years were great and everything else sucks?

I have seen lots of tracker booboo's. I have two seafari's with solid transoms from 1972 and 1973. I even helped rip out a good transom from a 1969 boat. As long as the previous owners didn't do stupid things like drill lots of holes in the floor or transom . . . the boats seems to have held up very well for being close to 40 years old. I would say that Potter years has some good quality control. Mosley certainly took a huge amount of pride delivering a high end product . . . this was his baby. Mosley built the empire and was deeply involved with Mercury racing.

The 20CC was built in the mid 60's . . . that's not a potter design. The 20 MA in 1975 was a potter creation with the same 20 CC hull. I know potter changed the stringer configuration in 1972 . . . but I believe that was due to adding required flotation. Even the seacraft 20CC today uses the same hull. As far as the 19 bowrider is concerned . . . I am almost positive it's the same hull as the 20CC if not exactly the same it's very close.

Again I don't know everything and I might get some things mixed up . . . I was just as interested as you . . . and started asking about the racing on Screamandfly.com. Some very interesting posts . . . if you look over there.
