Well finally got my very own seacraft... of the '78 potter 18sf vintage. boat needs some work but isnt a complete basket case. hopefully in a couple months ill be able to start replacing the deck and rewire/replumb while its open. forgive me for my crappy camera phone pics.

have you taken her out yet? i've got a couple of 18 footers, one of which i have a brand new 150 yamaha for.

clb33fyxj,

Welcome aboard! Nice boat!

You mentioned sleet; are from the New England area? We were having sleet yesterday.

[clb33fyxj]

Yeah im down on the cape. The boat needs a new deck, so once the deck is out it will get re wired. none of the rod holders have any backing plates, needs a new rub rail so ill probably refasten the cap when i have access to it. im contemplating doing the transom when the deck is out as well, really wanna do a full transom, but may just raise it to 25" and make a better splash well. got my work cut out for me if i wanna get it ready for the summer. haha.

Looks damn nice I must say, we all have our problems, here in Fla mine won't sit still long enough for much work.

Nice rig. I've always loved the 18-footers, sweet little boats. I see a Mass. registration on the boat. Where are you located?
