If I were you I would concentrate more on the things that are still common in SeaCrafts which is the Hull Design.

I'm new to SeaCraft, but I've been around small boats for many years and I'm not sure that what you said may be true today. Case in point; over the last several days, I've had an opportunity and pleasure to fish in from a 1974 20 SF and a 1979 20 MA. I thought both rides were great, and very similar. More recently, I had an opportunity to drive a 2000 20 SF. Totally different feel; less stable, more "bouncy".
A few days after the drive in the 2000 20 SF, I received a mailing from Tracker that contained an article in a tabloid type newspaper showing cross sections of the Mosely era, stepped, vairable deadrise hull compared to the current Tracker SeaCraft hull, plus a bow-on photo of one of the new hulls. In my opinion, there is no new to old comparision; they are different hulls (at least in their front ends), and I wonder if that is why I felt that the newer SeaCraft had a different feel on the water.
It's not my intention to steal this thread or start another new vs. old debate, but have other owners of Potter era SeaCrafts had an opportunity to ride in/drive the newer SeaCrafts, and do you think there is a difference in the overall ride?
