Is 1985 a "Potter hull"?

Re: 1985 23' Sceptre for sale
 

no, good boat though

Re: 1985 23' Sceptre for sale
 

I would have to disagree. I have been told by a quite a few people that this is a potter hull.

Re: 1985 23' Sceptre for sale
 

Bill Potter was NOT at SeaCraft in 1985
The 23 was Bill's design working with Carl Moesly
in the early days..
But sorry to say your boat is not a Potter.
1970 to 1981 were the years I believe he was making
SeaCrafts.

Not to say your boat is any less... It is still a good
boat !!!

See ya, Ken

Rob-What you have been told is wrong. As Nobones said, it was designed in the Potter era, but not built under Potter's ownership. The hull is the same exact hull though. The reputation of that boat is excellent. Sorry to hear that you are selling. Best of luck.

Sorry, I just so badly want to be in the potter-built club! I mean come-on guys...pppplease!!!!!!!!!

Re: 1985 23' Sceptre for sale
 

The first 3 Letters of your Hull ID will tell you.

SEC = SeaCraft Inc ID (Potter 1969 thru 5/80)
CSY = Carribbean Sailing Yachts ID (1980-1982 23'& 27' SeaCrafts only)
SIC = SeaCraft Industries Corp ID (1980 thru 1987 other SeaCraft Models) (Potter on Board of Directors approx 1 year after sale)
TXY = Sarasota Marine Corp ID ('86-'88 CSY Parent Co)
SIC = Tracker SeaCraft of Fla ID (1987 thru 1990) all models

Read your Hull ID Numbers. Your 1985 SeaCraft is NOT a Potter Built Hull Period. As the others have said "This does not mean you have a bad SeaCraft"

BTW: Make sure you pay your $25 Listing Fee

Re: 1985 23' Sceptre for sale
 

Thats right Fred! Same boat,

I bought it in December last year. It's a great boat and I hate to see it go. But when you get a great opportunity to move across the world somethings need to be sacrficed.

Let me know if you are interested, or know of anyone. Like I said I need to sell it in the next few weeks. So make a reasonable offer.

Re: 1985 23' Sceptre for sale
 

I was never prompted to pay the fee. What is the link?
