I don't know... Sure looks like a Moesly SeaCraft to me. I can't see the bow strake Potter put on the 23's. Length/shape is definitely similar to "My Racing Machine" #31...
http://moeslyseacraft.com/Racing.aspx Or could it be the basis for the lost 27' Seavette as depicted in the patent drawing... http://moeslyseacraft.com/Documents/...st-3503358.pdf Interesting find if its not a late model 26'. Can't wait to see your pics, No Bones. Better yet - cant wait to see it at Area 442.

back at the 1st Anclote gathering, Carl said the 27' SeaVette had a "wide" beam. He revealed that the first three prototypes were made for the CIA, and all were equipped with twin big block Mercruiser stern-drives. The 3 prototypes were "all equipped differently", although he didn't specify what that meant. When I asked Carl directly if he had ever built any other 27' SeaVettes after the 3 prototypes, either for the CIA or any other agency, he said he "still can't talk about that".
I do know where one sank in 1970, in West Africa.
