Ya them make a 26,23,21, all knockoffs of the hull design they are a little wider and are two piece construction instead of the three piece construction. I talked to the owner of the Co at a Boat Show, he started dumping on SeaCraft to me, saying that his product was much better. So I started really looking at his boats their at the show. Personally after I looked it their boats, if I had to choose between today’s SeaCraft and their boat I would still chooses the SeaCraft in spite of the current problems with the Tracker ownership and quality issues.

One of my local dealers said that his Key Largo boats are the same hull as well. He said something about Key Largo buy or using the original molds from the Potter era.

They are all floating a line of crap... It's very tightly copied off the 23 SC but its not a direct splash. Last year at Providence, Trayder & I talked to some Sailfish people (salesmen? I forgoet) and these guys were not trrashing the Seacraft at all. They did also point out that their hull is wider than the 23 and that it's missing the strake that runs thru the most forward V - kinda like a the old 20 -v- a 23.
