Not a Potter

[csurf]

So I was originally under the impression that the 23 I just bought ( http://www.classicseacraft.com/commu...ad.php?t=23436 ) is Potter. After researching the site a bit I deciphered the HIN number and it turns out that it's a Sarasota with a twist. The twist is that my HIN# TXYF30121080 indicates the boat was made in Oct 1980. So how can that be if Sarasota did not make the boat till 86? Could have it been made by CSY and later sold by Sarasota?

Any info regarding the quality of CSY and Sarasota would be appreciated.
