80th Birthday Wishes to Bill Potter
 
Folks-
My dad (Bill Potter) is turning 80 this summer and I thought it would be great to collect a bunch of birthday greetings from you all to him. He is still very much involved in several boating related projects. Please send a Birthday wish if you can and include boats you have enjoyed and anything else! Thanks!!

Mr. Potter,

Thank you for my '85 Scepter 23! It was one of the last under your able direction.

Please consider doing us all a big favor. Either you or your protege' get the brand back and build a new fleet of quality boats so that we will have a fleet of "used"/just broken in boats when it comes time to replace ours.

Seriously, have a wonderful birthday and we all wish you many more. You and Carl are two of our favorite people! Thank you. - biglew

Happy birthday Mr Potter!

My grandfather Keith Leonard purchased a new blue 25 Seafari from the Toronto boat show in 76. She is still in the family, mostly original, and greatly appreciated!

Thank you and have a great day

Happy Birthday, Mr.Potter. This site is a testament to your legacy. You took Mr. Moesly's design and ran with it. For that we are all grateful.
