1973 20
There is an add in a local paper for a 1973 20 Seacraft. Center console, deck and transom reported to be in good condtion. The electronics are nothing special, and would be replaced. Powered by a evinrude 150 (early to mid 90's)also in "good" condition. Boat comes with a trailer which is only 1-2 years old. When the topic of the Potter hull came up, the current owner did not even know the importance of the builder. I only had a brief chance to speak with him, but from the discussion he does not seem to know classics very well. I have yet to see the boat, but with an asking price of $6500, it may be hard to pass up. Any reccomendations about what to ask/look for. I know some about Potter built SC's but you guys are the professionals. Any info could tip the scale into putting my first Seacraft in my drive way. Thanks

Chance,
Nothing really pertaining specifically to SCs. The biggies are transom condition, stringer condition, basically the overall structure of the boat. Being on the Cape, the boat sounds like a good deal for $6,500 with somewhat recent power and a new trailer.

Chance1234 if the boat doesn"t look beat get it.My boat is a 72 Center console and my own personal opinion is the early 70"s were there best years for seacraft.We paid 3500 in 74 so that doesn't sound too bad.See you down the Cape.
