Default Re: Why are POTTER 23 CC's so revered?

For me it's because I grew up in that era and on the water.
Back in the 70's when you saw a 23 Seacraft, it was the coolest boat on the water.Beautiful lines, great ride, no nonsense fishing boat.
It was the Chevelle SS of boats.
Exactly. Potter created the 23' and in many ways set a gold standard for boats in that class/size range. I would agree that quality was good but that's not to say Moesly and those that came after Potter didn't build a good boat. My father's '82 23' Sceptre was built by CSY and is constructed like a brick sh!t house. Word is CSY lost money on every one they built because they constructed them so well, hence their short ownership of the line.
