WHAAAAT????
Ryan, We can't be droppin' our standards just because Joe folds up like a cheap card table and takes the easy route with Cash! This site is about Cabosil, Lay-up schedules, Coring, transom laminates, Vinlyester, Gelcoat, grinding discs, MEK, Epoxy and Thru-hulls and important stuff like that. Joe's got nutt'in to do but study his windshield gromits to see if they're tarnished!! You can't buy your way into a Gucci Award! (Well, without "cubic dollars") I don't know what this world is coming to.
By the powers vested in me as "Chief Troublemaker", I deem that henceforth Joe shall be referred to as Slacker II and he must "mold his life" after Slacker I (Fat man in the bathtub "GFS")!
Shoulda' done the transom, Bro'

I thought this out for some time and had money set aside to repower my 1970 Potter 20, then in order to repower I would also want to do the following just to get some updating'

redo the transom and raise 5in
blast the 15 years of bottom paint off
new battery and move fwd
new wiring
up date 20 yo electronics
put on new 150 Etec

doing it myself ,,,,getting to old for that, I loved my Potter and owned her for 28 years ,nice sexy and fun to ride boat....Put her up for sale and sold in hours
BUT now I have a boat a little bigger, and updated for less money..and it has a name on the side that says SeaCraft..lol
Bought it from a guy who re powerd it this spring and could not use it due to job and his dad being ill...the Optimax has 5 hours on it w/5 year warenty ...also brand new Lorance E7gps .Sound system Bluetooth, VHF,,Compass, Led lights ,all redone covers on tee top and leaning post ALL NEW AND REDONE....after adding it up the the newer boat cost me less than redoing my old Potter and was the best move for me..I know this site is here to give insite on ideas, rebuilds,history etc ....but my SeaCraft would not be here if it was not for Carl ,, Its good to know the history and background of my 17 year old hull

I really like the newer 21' CC. I think it a whole lot more boat than your older 20 and you will be very happy with the move. Your new 21' is like a shortened 23' Potter. Your all good!

When you say Seacraft...like when you say Corvette...No explanation and the year is secondary!

How would you compare size, ride, and performance of the 21 to your old 20? Even though it is just a foot, the newer 21s look like a good bit more boat. Of course Trader's 21 is a whole other beast

The Potter 20 was a great ride and very fun to run . The 21 is a only a foot longer and wider. but a world of difference in the ride, yes the 20 rode great ,and had a cool feel to the helm and felt like you were flying being closer to the water...but the 21 with its higher freeboard ,deeper V and heaver, rides like a bigger boat,I was out yesterday in some bumpy choppy conditions off the beach, on the way out I was just at planning speed and passing much larger boats ,The 21 has lots of nice features and storage, 25in transom, don't get me wrong the 20 1970 Potter that I had for 28 years was a fun boat and great looking....but this boat will be better for my old bones in the slop ,and much better for working offshore
