23 Seacraft Hull Design and the Silverhawk

FELLOW-SHIP · #1 05-14-2002, 10:39 AM

BOY STEVE AND SCOTT SAID IT ALL.
FOR ME THIS IS THE BIG “WHY” THE TRUE KNOWLEDGEABLE BOAT OWNER’S GET SEACRAFTS, AND “WHY” THERE IS NOT A BETTER 23’ BOAT ON THE MARKED AND “WHY” ANYONE WOULD BE WILLING TO SPEND ALL THE TIME, $$ AND ENERGY TO RE BUILD ONE.

Potter tells me he wants to get a hold of an old Seacraft hull and incorporate some design improvements he has come up with and test them.Could be an interesting project.

D.H.

Can you give us any hints of whats up his sleeve???

Anything to do with his bracket (Seamark)??

Mr. Potter has remarked several times about his desire to implement and test a redesigned hull but I do not know what his ideas are.He is on vacation till next week.When he returns I will ask him about the design of the original Seacrafts and his ideas about changing and why.

So I'm not crazy - it is a great, dry, stable ride despite what the deadrise degree is. Thanks for the responses and thanks for allowing me to lurk here even though I don't own a Seacraft.

What is this guy Potter doing these days? Is he affiliated with any boat manufacturer or is he only designing hulls? I hope he doesn't change what the 23 looks like above the water line, it doesn't need anything as far as I am concerned!

The guy Potter is retired but is one of those guys that allways has some boat project or idea he is working on.
