I have to relate one comment Mr. Moesley shared with us. Not 5 seconds before that image was taken, he said "the 20 is actually a better boat in a sea than a 23."

So, seconds after I realized I just spent the last 3 years working on and fully restoring my fabulous 23, Titleist, the guy responsible for the original design tells me it was NOT his design and that the Potter group modified a 20 hull and changed the panel configuration so it was different and not as effective as he designed and intended it. He was clearly NOT HAPPY about that particular point.

I'm like, SH** and Carla goes "hey, look over here!" Great...

I wish that all of you could have the experience to spend that kind of quality time with "the man". I encourage you all to try to make the April outing here in Florida. These are great folks. Even Captain Chuck...

I've heard mixed reviews on that Chuck character. I'll have to meet him sometime (he actually lives in the same town I do in Florida...).

Minor correction - I think Carl said the 21 was the better boat, since he was talking about the 23 mold being from the 21. As good as the 20 is, it's just not in the same league as the 23 OR the 21!

Hey fellows, I just saw a post on CSC regarding the delightful luncheon we enjoyed in Jupiter on December 15th with other SeaCraft owners. I would like to clear up a quote. I was asked to discus a few defferent models of SeaCrafts.

The "21" was a rough, tough boat for off-shore work that can carry a heavy load in high seas with very good speed. The "19" Bow Rider, the "20" Center consol and the Cuddy Cabin were designed for coastal and bay work. The "20" was a modified "19" hull with advance design characteristics.

The "23" models were desigtned after I sold and left the company. They were basically a "21" bottom stretched out and the freeboard lowered. I had a demo ride in rough water a couple of years after the boat hit the market. The sales/demo driver asked me what I thought about the boat. My reply was "there are a couple of things I would have done differently". He came back with "that may be so, but it is so much better than any thing else on the market".

Funny things happen when you stretch out a hull or change things on the bottom. It can be a gain in some ways and a loss in others. A good big boat can mostly out perform a little boat. Foot for foot, I like the "21"

A boat is like a wife. The one that catches your eye and makes you the happiest is the one for you. Cheers,

Carl
