Why the 25' Seafari so rare ?

The 23 was Potter's evolution, and geared to a more popular and competitive class of boat. Marketing the open design of the 23 was much easier, especially in the Florida heat. Smart money was to build on the success of the 20 hull, and and fill that more capable 23' niche. Potter made a nice mark with the 23. Why market the bigger, much more expensive to build boat? Arab oil embargo probably made production even more expensive and the 25 degree dead-rise Seafari 25 even more expensive to run.

Potter had 3 concurrent applications for the 23 by altering only the cap. The CC the Tsunami/Sceptre and Savage all from the same hull fitting very different needs. Pretty good business in my mind...

4......don't forget the sexiest SeaCraft of all, the Seavette.
