Just for fun, I did a 411.com. Interesting what you find:

Carl Moesly lives in Otto, NC, ironically, a couple of hours from the new SeaCraft/Mako facility. MapQuest [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

ED and Otto - He's an idea. What about starting a boat company called "classic seacraft" (that builds seacrafts the old fashion way) wait for Jonny Morris's seacraft company to go belly up (which it will) and buy the name back.

Ha Otto
You would have to change your theory to the 4,000 boat theory.

That sure sheds some light on the Moesly - Potter relationship.....

Big Shrimpin-

I like your idea! I've actually been toying with the idea of contact venture capitalists to see what's the possibility of raising money. I have no idea as to how much it would cost...

I do know that when Reebok used to own Boston Whaler they wound up selling it to Brunswick for some paltry sum...like a $1 million. I would expect Seacraft would fetch a lot more these days.

Anyone related to Donald Trump or Mark Cuban?

Re: article on Carl Moesly and early SeaCraft History
 

It's tough to say in that story. Did Potter buy it from Mosely? or was he a successor? That part of the story is unclear, full of innuendo and often contradictory.
For instance, in the two years Moesly served as chairman, the company became worthless. Think about it. Either he was an honest to goodness CEO and therefore responsible for the decline, or he was a consultive figure head. If the latter was the case, he had no business butting heads with the management/owners. He should have stepped out of the way, otherwise he becomes part of the problem.

It's a very interesting article though and well worth reading.
