MBA Project on Seacraft

Bigshrimpin,

The lit I am refereing to is from a tabloid size, 6 page newspaper called the Mako-SeaCarft "Headings". It is "...a Special Supplement from the Publishers of TRACKERWay". I had requested a catalog of the new SeaCrafts and the "Headings" was part of their mailing. On page 5, their is an article entitled "Boating's Most Famous Bottom", the last para of which reads as follows:

"Carl Moesly's variable dead rise hull remains as the core of every SeaCraft sport fishing boat we build today and it still astonishes serious fisherman with its speed, stability and tender ride. If you want to experience the most famous bottom in the world, call your local SeaCraft dealer for a test ride. Just be prepared to be amazed by these beautiful, limited production boats!".

There are graphics next to the article (sorry, I don't have a scanner). One is a section through a Mosely hull. Next to it is a bow-on picture of a SeaCraft bottom. The section and the picture are not the same. The picture does not look like any classic SeaCraft hull I've seen, and I just wonded if they have changed the hull and if that's why I thought the boat (a 2000, 20SF) I drove felt different from the classic era SeaCrafts been on several days earlier.
