In late 1987, we got in an '87 Tracker SeaCraft 23 WA at Lake Worth Yachting Center, where the transom had been severely damaged in a rear-end collision while being trailered. As part of the repair, the entire transom was removed. I was then shocked to learn that the stringers in that boat were fiberglass-encapsulated plywood, unlike Potter hulls. And though the hull was just one year old, the plywood was already wet and separating inside the stringer.

The WA looks to be an unknown design. I will not defend Tracker`s riggers or cheap hardware. I had a slight delam of about 1 1/2 ft by 4 " of the top layer of the inside of my port stringer , but they are the big box foam stringers of the `72/73 design change on my `89 20.
Did tracker own another boat co. that made the WA and just rebadge it? Ah, the onion.
Blue Heron, where is the hook in your hull?
CSY`s may have been the heaviest, but I bet the Moesly`s were the most consistent.
