Is yours bigger than mine?

[mrobertson]

Lately - seacraft owners have come out of the woodwork here in MD. I've met 5-6 other owners from all eras at the ramp.

My 23 is a 1985. Yesterday while loading, another 23 owner pulled up in his 1976 potter 23.

Side by side I couldn't help but feel like the potter "felt" like a bigger boat than mine. It seemed like it might have been a litter deeper. The bow platform didn't seem as big in his as it does in mine.

It was a long day on the water so I didn't break out a tape measure. We chatted for a while then went up the road.

Do you think my eyes were playing tricks on me, or is it true that the potter era boats are bigger than my SIC.
