Re: 25' Sea Craft ?'s
I am probably one of the only people who frequent this site who has owned both a Potter built and a newer seacraft. I had a 1978 20 ft. Master Angler that my father actually purchased new for he and I in 1978. We owned the boat until 1995 approx. It was such an excellent boat that it influenced me to buy a 2000 23 ft S/C about 2 years ago. Although I can not comment on the 25 footer as I have never even ridden in one, the quality of my boat is very good. No issues of any kind, except for a very small and superficial gel coat issue around the bait well that I repaired. It may have been caused by previous owner?? The bottom line it has been a great boat. By the way, I may be out there at Anclote as I live 20 minutes away from the boat ramp at the river. If so, I look forward to meeting Eggsuckingdog and the other members.

Re: 25' Sea Craft ?'s
Steve-Few folks that have Potter era boats have seen your newer 23SF layout. We would love to have you at the event. It is going to be a great time.

Re: 25' Sea Craft ?'s
why dont you buy a re- done Potter hulled Sea Craft for same price as a newer 25 footer? Then you would not have to worry about quality problems!!! Just a thought

Re: 25' Sea Craft ?'s
OK You talked me into it. Yah, I have a grill...maybe we can catch some grouper or mackeral to put on it. I certainly hope the weather is good. The last few weekends have been generally nice, but blowing quite a bit. Usually the weather in late April/early May is fantastic as some of the local members can attest to. Is the projected camp site for ClassicSeacrafts still basically on the North end of the island?

Re: 25' Sea Craft ?'s
N2, don't you have somewhere else to rally support?
BTW, you own a boat yet?

Re: 25' Sea Craft ?'s
N2K - Am I right about the problem with The tracker "Stretched" boats? or were there issues with other sizes? How did so many 282's fall apart? Who screwed that up?

Re: 25' Sea Craft ?'s
Finster,
Sorry, but I'm not going to follow your lead. No I don't own one yet, but I have the convenience of having several to use. I'm not trying to rally support. I actually do put owners pictures up at the factory. It helps for everyone to see the fruits of their labor. BigShrimpin, Fell apart? None have that I know of. The SC25 was not a "stretched" boat. Even the origional 282 didn't "fall apart".
