Re: dry weights new 23cc vs old hulls
According to the info I have the 1978 model CC weighed 2650#'s without engine. I suppose the other year models by Potter probably were the same. I also have an old Tracker brochure from 1988 that lists the dry weight of the 23 CC at 3100#'s. It is strange that the Trackers were heavier since the Potter hulls have always been considered to be the stronger hull. The Tracker hull was rated for a max of twin 150"s and the 1978 was rated for 400 HP. Hope this helps.

Re: dry weights new 23cc vs old hulls
kajroxygurl,
450 pounds would be about the weight of a motor. Maybe the tracker numbers were dry with a motor on. You would have a hard time puting 450 pounds of extra class in a hull that size.

Re: dry weights new 23cc vs old hulls
It does sound fishy and maybe it is including the engine weight. The brochure says under the specs that "weight , boat only : 3100 lb." I get the feeling that since they were advertising each different model as a package that they were including the engine in the weight. At the least is was certainly misleading. The package price for the 23 CC was with a 200 Mercury/Mariner and was advertised at$17,995. Sure wish a new 23 was that price now.

Re: dry weights new 23cc vs old hulls
I'm not sure if it's true with boats or not but the term "Dry Weight" for many motorized devices is total weight less fluids (fuels/oils/etc) and that may be the same in that case. They may have included the base engine in that which was probably around 350-400 pounds at the time. The few older SC and other boat brochures I've seen (and some new stuff) usually indicate hull weight or weight no engines...

Like kajroxygurl I've been told the original weight for my 76-77 hull was 2650 lbs. Somewhere there is a thread that was started about this topic and one of the guys on the site had original literature for this year (76-77). I'll see if I can find the link and put it up here. Here is that link.... 1976 Specs [ September 05, 2002, 11:38 AM: Message edited by: Scott ]
