Hey guys--new to your forum. Just a little info that you may or may not know. My brother and I have run Seacrafts, both 20's and 23's from the Wilmington to the Point. For awhile 3 of us all had 23's and fished them in any canyon where the fish were--side by side competition. Our original boats, and the one that we still own were Potters and Moesely's. Although much better built than the Trackers, who couldn't build a decent rowboat in my opinion, I did own a Tracker and with enough West System and cloth, it was really an OK boat. My family believes so much in the SeaCraft hull, that my brother Jim has made a career out of building 50 to 80 foot Sportfish, with the variable deadrise SeaCraft hull. I know I'm prejudiced, but in my opinion they are the best head sea boats ever built, and have little to no roll at troll. Believe it or not, but Carl Moesley is still around and visits the shop offering suggestions etc. We have owned 6 or more SeaCrafts in our lives, and they do have the magic ride. I now own--long story--a 31 Contender. It is a great boat, and well built. But its ride is not nearly as good as a 23 foot SeaCraft. If anyone wants work on a boat done, Jimmy might do it if he isn't busy. But he has a direct line to Carl if you have questions. Take care and know your SeaCrafts will bring you home.
