Potter had raised the deck by an inch or two on the Seafari by '76 and probably did it on other 20' models as well. He may have done that as early as '73 when he changed stringer configuration from 4 individual hollow pre-molded stringers to the 2 box stringer configuration. A friend of mine bought a new Seafari in '76 and the little wells around the scuppers that are about an inch deep on mine were about 2-3" deep on his. His boat also had the bigger 50 gal fuel tank, the smaller step down that was just big enough to open cabin door, and front of windshield was moved forward about a foot with a fixed section of glass below the opening section. It also had storage box on passenger side just aft of windshield similar to the 23 Sceptre.
