I bought a "new" boat

[77seacraft18]

Hey Guys-

Thanks for all the compliments and well wishes. However, I can't take too much credit! Yes, the coffin box was a big selling point for me. Gives add'l storage and a place for the wife and kids to sit comfortably. It runs a hair over 60 wot. Cruising at 37, I'm only burning 5.5 gph.

The transom and floor were raised....I believe 4 inches but don't quite me. I'm naturally nervous with that much weight on a potter hull but do far it's been pretty dry. They installed a nice flush mount drainage system in the deck. I'll take pics this weekend and post them.

Congrats, good looking boat, nice spray rail also.

Congrats! What a nice looking boat. I really like those spray rails, are they glassed to the hull? The 18' could use something to keep water from riding up the bow, as the bow is more blunt than the 20'. Post a couple more pictures of the forward deck please; it looks like they got rid of the casting platform.

What do you mean " the bow is more blunt than the 20 " . I thought the 18 was the exact same hull shape as the 20 but just two feet shorter.

[bitsamonkey]

Different hull. It's only 18" shorter, and some of that came out of the bow; the 20 has more of a "beak".
