Gotcha, He really is mistaken as I don't know what type of boats he refurbished that he thinks were SeaCrafts [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

spend a bit of time on FS and read his replies to other posts: this post wasn't an anomaly.

Re: There Talking About Our Boats
 

Well...I painfully read threw that entire thread and the only thing I can say is Dunk don't know Seacrafts. Plywood stringers?? Bows of boats coming off?? I'd pay to see this.

That would explain why Dunk didn't last long round these parts....Maybe one of you guys should ask him the differences between a Potter and a Tracker. I'd love to hear the answer.

My boat had the wood center keel in it as well and still does it is not rotton. I drilled in 3 places to check it. The only wood that was rotton in my boat was those dam battery boxes and thats it. Not sure what the heck Dunk is talking about. Gotta love that pic of that guys 23 sceptre running in the evening.

Re: There Talking About Our Boats
 

Now I see why Dunk doesn't post here any longer (not that he did much in the first place).

Nick - just stuff some more pool noodles in the bow and you won't have anything to worry about. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hey,
I resemble that remark...
Coming into Port Canaveral with fish boxes full of grouper, snapper, and dolphin. Blood and bait smeared all over the boat. Salt caked on the windshield. The smell of 2 stroke oil burning. My kind of day.

Yes Dunk is wrong about plywood stringers, but he is right about the transoms in most of these beast that are wet/rotten/shot after 20 years. I don't know him personally, but he is a great asset in what he knows best, OMC stuff.

I have been in and out of my 23' tracker hull, and I am about to pull an early 70's potter hull apart. I will let you know IMHO what I see between the 2. I know all you Potter guys think your boat walks on water, instead of slicing through it, but jeezzzzz, lighten up!!!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
There all good.

Remember, this is a Classic Seacraft forum (1960's-1980, I just doubled checked to make sure [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) so we do have the upper hand! [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I do like your boat, especially the hardtop setup. Nice Job!

I can appreciale all boats and anything that floats ... even "pool-noodles" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hey lets face it, even the Potter builts aren't indestructible:

.
But they are worth restoring.
And it seems like more people are starting to realize that.
Or is it just this site that makes it seem that way ?
