hello,
and new to the forum... I just purchased a 2005 23 seacraft. I was told by a friend that there is not much love from this forum on these boats, only potter era vintage. I have read everything there is to read about these boats, quality is hit or miss, i happen to have a nice ride.... is there another dedicated committed community for the BPS vintage boats I should look into? I am hoping to be welcome into this community as I am a positive and respectful contributor, 100 GT master. I have owned boats for over 30 years, never a seacraft, always wanted one. finally got one, and love it. i like the newer ones mainly because of the extra storage they offer, and no wood construction. the boat is solid as a rock and even has spray rails installed from the freeman factory to bill potter specs. i have never run a 23 seacraft until this past weekend so i have no idea how they affect the ride, good or bad. i never even took the boat for a seatrial, as i was never concerned about ride quality of the vessel. but my first ride was awesome, solid as a rock. even my wife was amazed, the ride is very comparable to the Albemarle 24, which I have 1000s hours on that hull, only without the violent snap roll the albemarle has. I place my hat in hand and hope to be welcomed into the community even though I do not have a true potter, but a bass pro special.
