Re: 70's cc VS. 80's cc
Some here would argue that the potter built boats of the '70s are better than the Seacraft Industries/Tracker boats of the '80s, but I don't think there's much difference quality wise. That being said, the Seacraft Industries/Tracker SF 20 is not the same hull as the Potter SF 20. Seacraft Industries added a strake at the bow similar to the Potter 18s and 23s and stretched it 8". I think they stayed with the same mold for the 20 MAs, though.
As far as looking for defects, the same applies to both manufacturer's boats. Look for soft spots in the deck or cap, and flex in the transom.
