I think this explains the Herman connection on the full splashwell that you saw in my recent photo. My Seafari was delivered in June 1976. It must have been after 1980 when Potter was no longer with SeaCraft that he had a company, SeaMark, making after-market parts. I ordered my splashwell from Potter at SeaMark. I believe it was Don Herman that was working for or making the splashwell for Potter and apparently continued to do that occasionally thereafter. There was a recent post that Don was getting ready to trash the mold. One of the CSC'ers got a hold of it when Vezo was interested (can't remember who), before it went to the dump.

Tony,I have some new window rubber seal left over from my tsunami project.I got it from American marine.I believe they made the original windshields for seacraft.
I pretty sure the profile of the seal is the same on the seafari.I'm up in NY on Lake Ontario until the end of the month,but when I return I'll measure what I have left if you're interested

Hey, thank you, John! That would be terrific.
I hope your trip is fantastic and that the fish are biting.
Your Seafari likes it here in California!

Good information, thank you!
Maybe I can track down the current owner of that mold.
