How much of a difference between late potter and early non potter (1980 vs 1986)

[offshoreterror]

Hey guys,

I'm new to the forum, I figured this is the place to be for all my SeaCraft questions. I have always wanted a classic Potter hull but have never owned a SeaCraft. I have decided to pull the trigger and buy one, I have been shopping around for the past few months and still haven't found what I'm looking for. I wish I was more of a project guy but realistically I'm out of my league with a hull that old. I recently came across a 1986 that looks great and is in my price range but it's not a Potter. Should I hold out and keep looking or is there not that much of a difference. I appreciate any advice.

Jeff
