Re: What is the difference? Classic vs. 89
Numerous members here have great Tracker hulls and there are documented cases of Potter hulls that were the last one laid up before the weekend that are really sad. I would worry less about what year the hull was than the condition of the actual specific boat you are considering buying. These things were made by humans.....as such, a good bit of variation exists.

The flex on my hull won't hurt the performance and the boat is made well.
I just wish I hadn't heard about it and may never have looked.LOL |

[/QUOTE] I wish someone would take a picture and show me this. It's not that I don't believe it, I just would like to see what it looks like. [/QUOTE] Here's an 85 Scepter I looked at last Sunday that definitely has the hook in port center panel (first picture below). I only had a 2' straightedge, but biggest gap was about 1' fwd of transom. Gap was about 1/16 to 1/8". Longer straightedge might show a bigger gap. Appeared to be a slight hollow spot in port inner panel also, but was by myself and had a hard time holding straightedge and taking photo at same time! http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...epter23001.jpg Port outer panel is straight. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...epter23012.jpg I thought I remembered that all stbd panels were straight, but after looking at this shot of innermost stbd panel again, it also appears to show a very slight hook or hollow spot, a little further fwd than port side. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z...epter23006.jpg Hope this clarifies the issue of the hook in some post-Potter hulls!
