Bill Poters # 1 Man

Pat · #1 03-24-2002, 09:07 PM

I am in the middle of redoing a 1979 seacraft that I have owned for the last 15 years.I have located Bill Poters # 1 man when he was building boats.His name is Jose with Princeton Boats works in Miami.When I brought him my boat he remembered building it.I have done a complete restoration of the hull, Deck , tanks and paint. He also inclosed my transom and I put on a stainless marine bracket. This boat looks like it cane out of the mold. Emerald green paint with a gold water line stripe.Anybody looking for the best, nobody knows seacrafts better than him.

Hello Pat-

What did you use to finish the hull? Awlgrip, Imron, or Gel-coat.
Do you have ant pictures I am sure we would all love to see your boat.

Hey Pat-

I would love to see a photo. Jupiter is my old stomping ground. Great fishing. How is that transom and bracket improvement working?

Hi Pat
I personally would like to see pictures with details on the transom enclosure (I'm assuming you had a 23 with the big motor well) would like to see how he handled the deck rebuild, after removal of the well (hatches and access to the bilge) and the closing of the transom and what you did with that space (lockers and such)......this is something I'm thinking of doing... someday

Thank you in advance
Scott

Pat .... where are you or rather the boat in Jupiter ... One of the guys I use to mate for lives down there and has been getting ideas for me from SeaCrafts he has seen in the area

H-co

Steve,
The guy is too humble and I think embarrased by his celebrity.Never mentions Seacraft unless we are talking about his.
