no longer a classic
 
well after 27 years I just sold my 1970 Potter, 20 cc.... I was thinking of repowering, new transom,update electronics etc etc, but I am not getting younger ,So I just settled on a 1998 21 with a new 2015 200 Optimax, already updated from new electronics , Tee top . etc etc
I will miss the classic Potter bragging rights , but staying in the SeaCraft family

Sounds like Suzie II is ready for the canyons.
We all know the magic in under our feet.

Maybe we need a new designation for the "New" classics? I'm running an '09 26 master angler. Looks like SeaCrafts have not been produced since late 2008 and I don't think there's much hope of them returning :(

Not as long as Tracker has the copyright and molds. You will not see any of the other boats Tracker made, like Kenner, when they bought the companies in the early 2000 time frame. After the 2006 - 2008 financial disaster looks like Tracker (Bass Pro Shops) consolidated the popular hulls/boats to a single name they thought would sell and everyone knew, like Mako.

As far as "Maybe we need a new designation for the "New" classics", I don't think that's gonna happen on CSC......

Well, I will still organize the Atlantic City gathering next summer, we had all vintage SeaCrafts show up last year , We have a few more weeks on the Bass here ,then its going to be a long winter looking at the new boat covered up....

I thought that designation was Slacker!

I thought there was only ONE Slacker!!! Or to be said in another way, I know only one person proud to have the title "Slacker" and I never figured he would give up his well earned title!!! Plus "SlacakerSeaCraft.com" does not have the same ring to it as CSC.com does! :)

Gonna have to pry Slacker out of my hands.
If I had a brain, I would dress her up and spin around the corner...
My other side says this is the best engine you will ever see.
Slackers are not always smart.

Personally I think we should embrace the newer boats here. There is no reason we shouldn't encourage bass pro seacraft owners to participate here.
