Not too sure about the CSY vs SeaCraft Ind as builder of the boat. Who was your "reliable" source ?

This question came up again in another thread so I am going to answer it back under this catergory.
There should not be any confusion on this issue but I guess there still remains questions! There are many threads on this site that show the time line on the SeaCraft boats, some right and some wrong
ScottM's source is "Very Reliable" As both he and I personaly sat with Mr. Potter. CSY Corp took the mold and the tooling for the 23'& the 27' models ONLY over to tampa for approx 1 year.
Your Hull Id will tell you by whom and when (year) your hull was manufactured. It is hard to get the exact month and day companies acquire each other as these business dealings take place over time. I went back over all the "time line" posts that I could find and came up with this list that several SeaCrafters have been able to muster:
SEC = SeaCraft Inc (Potter 1969 thru 5/80)
CSY = Carribbean Sailing Yachts (1980-1982 23'& 27' SeaCrafts only)
SIC = SeaCraft Industries Corp (1980 thru 1987 other SeaCraft Models) (Potter on Board of Directors approx 1 year after sale)
TXY = Sarasota Marine Corp ('86-'88 CSY Parent Co)
SIC = Tracker SeaCraft of Fla (1987 thru 1990) all models
SXC = Stern Craft Corp (1994 Silver King Parent then Tracker Parent Co in 1995)
MIC = Silver King Boats (1994-2002 Mako Marine Parent Co)
MRK = Mako Marine (2002 Parent Co SeaCraft from Tracker)
Is everyone confused more then ever now
What happened to Silver King Boats after all this
