Sea Craft article

I was checking out the classic Sea Craft site today (I know...flirting with another hull...lol) and found an interesting article. Its about the history of Sea Craft, specifically the start and growth of the company under Carl Moesly.
When I have read about Sea Craft prior to this you always hear "Potter hulls, Potter hulls, Potter hulls." To me that implies that they were'nt much when Bill Potter didn't build them. This article mentions nothing about Potter. It talkes about a "new owner" who they say ran the company in the ground after 1968 timeframe. My understand that the "good" Potter hulls were from 1969 to 1980. Confusing..need more info.
Nonetheless its a great read. The article talks about him being credited with inventing the bowrider and the stringer "grid" system, and somewhat the center console. Heres the link. In order to read the pages I had to save them and open them as pictures and then zoom in. Still tough to read though.
