Help! Researching Seacraft, lend me your wisdom!

[Bombora]

Aloha everybody,
No question, a SC is one of the most beautiful hulls afloat. This infatuation all started when I pulled up next to a guy in a 74 (18? 20?) that had been restored, and I was hooked.
I've had lots of boats, including SeaHunt, Whaler, HydraSports, and they were all great, but not as aesthetically pleasing. Im going to sell the HSports, and I want my next boat to be a SC.
CAn anyone direct me to a place where I can get info on: 1.What hull/year NOT to buy. 2. What hull/year do you WANT to buy. 3.What problems are inherent with the design.
And from what I have heard and read here, I make this assumption.
1. The transom(on older hulls)are prone to rot and often need replacing. 2. Seacrafts SINK! 3. Seacrafts SINK LESS when the deck has been raised, and the scuppers have been modified.
4. Potter built hulls appear to be the ones you would want. (what years are Potter hulls)
5. Raising the Transom mount area will decrease your SC's SINKING probability.

In normal harbor and light offshore fishing use, will a SC sink that easily? (3-4 ft seas TOPS, back hurts too much to take any more)
Due to the high degreee of dearise angle, is it nececcary to have trim tabs?
Man, thats all I can think of rigt now, Im sure there will be more questions.
A great big Thanks and a Beer of your choice when I repay ya!
Thanks!
