Potter Built

[saltydog]

Great seeing you too! That sounds like a great name. As we talked about at the AC show with yourself and Scott we should try to plan a date sometime in the early part of summer to get together. Otto and I really enjoyed the comraderie and the discussion. Learned a great deal more about these wonderful Sea Crafts.

Thanks for the laughs! Just when you think that time-line that was posted last year helped us clear up the mess, a thread like this comes along! Even a little in-family abuse about the post-Potter era to boot. I will keep my 89 18' Tracker, but when the 23' purchase is made it will be before the Tracker Era. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

hi seacraft lovers et al.

Did seacraft ever make a small sport boat? I found a hull that has the bottom lines of a SC but here is the kicker- the boat has very low freeboard like a 16-18 donzi classic, and the cockpit looks like a donzi classic as well. Pwr on this boat is an old merc alpha and what seems to be a 4cyl GM. No #s or id codes, i need to bring up some digital pics to show. THe boat doesn't look like it has been worked, just sitting in the grass with years of growth seems factory, CAN ANY1 HELP??

Yes Christian-

In the 1960's Carl Mosely built a bunch of these sport boats. He also had a government contract to build some for the CIA, if I tell you more I will have to...... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Just kidding.

Mr. Mosely was very successful in building race boats and sport boats long before SeaCraft was known for their fishability.

Trayder, Thanks.
Does the board have any lit on these neat-o hulls
is there an interest in them? any more info would be great, i am trying to hunt down the owner to see if i can bring this piece of history home.
