I am ap previous owner of a Potter built 23 and know the "ride" very well. I am looking at an 18 Potter hull that is supposed to be built on the same lines as a 23. I know the 20 does not have the same soft ride s the 23. Anyone know how the 18 is? I was told the 18 and 23 ride virtually the same.

I own a 1977 18 ft. SF. I believe it is the best riding 18 I have ever been on. Matter of fact it is a better ride than a lot larger CC's out there. Old or new.

They are azz heavy, but you probably already know that from the 23. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] GOOD LUCK!!!
