Lap strake hull?
 

There's a guy around here who has a center console lap strake hull with the straight inboard. It has the Sea Craft emblem on it. Did SC ever make a lap strake hull boat? I think that the boat was built in 77-78. I had originally passed it off as someone just put the Sea Craft name on a Texas Dory, but now I'm not sure. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

There are no lap strake SeaCrafts. Your local dude is a SeaCraft imposter. Please report him to the proper authorities...

Yea, I pretty much knew it but wasn't 100% sure. In a nice about way I did question his boat being a Sea Craft [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]. I explained to him that all SC's that I was familiar with had the variable dead rise hull.

I know ChrisCraft used to make a nice 22' CC with the lapstrake look and an inboard engine.

Yea, it could be a Chris Craft Cutlass. Did it look like this? http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi...g_id=4624&url=

Scott, The Chris Craft looks similar, but I don't think that it's the same boat. If I remember the hull# started off with TXY.

Ok, I'm sorta confused [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img], my 1982 hull# starts with SIC and if I'm reading this other trend right, my boat was made my Tracker marine and not CSY. What gives? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

CSY took the tooling and mold for the 23' only after Potter left in 1980. They only built that size SeaCraft for approx 1 year in Tampa. If your hull ID starts with SIC then your boat is NOT built by Tracker nor CSY but SeaCraft Industries in Miami [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

BTW: How's your plans shaping up for your Bahamas trip this year [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Capt Chuck, Wow, At one time I had seen a time graph on CSC where all SC's made between 1980 and 1987 were made by CSY, that's why I had thought mine was a CSY boat. So are all 1982 SC's made by SeaCraft Industries out of Tampa? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Looks like the Bahamas trip has been post phoned due to expecting a new addition to the family [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Steve,
Back in April a few of us had the privelege of spending an afternoon with Bill Potter, and he explained the post-Potter/pre-Tracker years to us. I was surprised as well since my father also has an '82 and we were under the impression it was built by CSY.

Congrats on the pending new arrival! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

My 1988 Sceptre begins with SIC, so is it a CSY or a Tracker? Has a Tracker sticker on the dash?
