I believe basic hull design has never changed, the changes in some models had to do with console placement, and mostly the quality of construction was reduced significantly after 1980.

There have been some changes through the years, added strakes on the hull, stringer designs, console shapes/design, but there is a big difference of being able to say you have a "Potter" hull. To tell the truth, some of those boats built in the 70's didn't have a whole ton of glass in them.

I disagree on the quality of construction point. I ran an 18 SF from 1985 (Sea Craft Industries)for many years commercially. It was bought to be a commercial boat new in 1985. And it did the same thing everyday all summer for 25 years. SOme ski trips, some nature cruises but 99% of it's sea time was as a chase / rescue / tow boat for a large watersports operator. Hard time. No hull issues ever and no deck or hatch issues. Hence my purchase of the same model and same year hull.
