Re: 1972 potter seacraft-HELP
I assume a 20'. Btw all your requested specs. and other info can be had by clicking the "ClassicSeacraft" link in the bottom right of this page.
I've spent a decent amount of time on SC's and a couple 21DV Makos. IMO that Mako is second fiddle to the SC, with some distance. Within a similar vintage of Mako and SC you may need to do more in depth work to bring it up to snuff. The hulls just don't run nearly as well as one another. For anyone who has spent time on the early Makos like the 23, the 21DV is unbelievable, but its not an SC. Both boats are wet as all smaller open boats are. How open some of the older Mako transoms are leaves something to be desired, but if you have to replace it it wouldn't matter. Hands down the asthetics on the SC win out IMO. The SC needs less Hp.
For me personally, when I was searching for an SC I kept telling myself that if I couldn't get a decent 20sf I'd get a 21dv mako. Push come to shove though I couldn't pull the trigger knowing it wasn't what I truly wanted. I passed on a few 21/22 Makos that I could have easily made into a nice boat.
In a nutshell, to get a closed transom SC it's no competition for me. Just my opinion. Good Luck
