This is my post in the VHD thread.

"My boat of choice has always been "Potter-built" SeaCraft. Still is. All that said, the Sailfish, on casual inspection, appears to be the best SeaCraft clone I have ever seen. It appears to be MUCH, MUCH better built than current SeaCrafts being produced by Tracker."

IN GENERAL I AGREE, HOWEVEVER I LOOKED FOR A TURN KEY "AFORDABLE" POTTER 20 MA FOR TWO YEARS, IN THE END I BOUGHT A TRACKER BUILT 2001 SC 20MA WHICH SO FAR HAS BEEN GREAT. HOPEFULLY I GOT A GOOD ONE.

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In this case, Sailfish has flattered SeaCraft very highly, to the point of trying to imitate the "Potter-built" quality. High praise, if you ask me. How about if we applaud Sailfish's efforts to build a worthy copy, as so many SC copies have been poorly built. We can hang on to the originals, while admire the very best copies."

SEACRAFT / TRACKER NEEDS TO GET THE MESSAGE THAT EVERY BOAT THAT LEAVES THIER SHOP IS OF THE HIGHTEST BUILD QUALITY - EVERY BOAT! THEY ALREADY INSTAIL HIGH QUALLITY FITTINGS, ITS THE WORKMANSHIP AND ATTENTION TO STRUCTUAL / FINISH DETAIL THAT CAN SUCK.

FOR ME NOTHING COMPARES TO A SC FOR THE COMBINATION OF LOOKS AND RIDE. EVEN MY TRACKER 20MA GETS ADMIRING COMMENTS AT THE DOCK OR CUTTING THROUGHT THE CHOP.

I LIKE TO HEAR COMPARISIONS AND OPINIONS OF CLASSIC SC, TRACKER SC AND THE KNOCKOFFS ON THIS SITE. WE ALL PAID FOR THE BOAT’S WE WANTED, I AM VERY HAPY WITH MINE.

BOTTOM LINE - All Tracker has to do is build every single boat to match the higest structural, detail and finish level of the other high quality brands.
After that Seacrafts sell them selfs.
