Not good...….. yeh, Ive seen some big money boats with gel bubbles, voids etc.....

By late gen Seacraft I refer to the mid - late 80's Sceptre…….vs the Potter 70's.


General consensus seems to be both fine, with the Potter enjoying the " mystique" and Tracker maybe actually more fiberglass in the build...……...but without the original family build connection.

More fiberglass ??
Here is your more fiberglass from a 1970 SF !

The one on top was from the 3/4 hole hole drilled into the bottom
for a wash down pump and the bottom one into the splash well...

Backin' the day they were unsure how much glass was needed to
keep them together !!

They are all still SeaCrafts...

My live well clamshell is in the middle of the middle panel about 2 ft from the transom.
The 3/4 plug was 3/8" thick on my `89 20 Slacker.

I think the early trackers were heavier because of the plywood vs balsa cores on the
deck, cap, and the thicker transoms.

The skill and happiness level of the guys building your hull is also pretty important.
Mine was made in November which is perfect for glassin` here.
Consistent temps and low humidity. For Florida.
