New Member 1977 18' cc bought from orig owner

[ledfoot]

Hey all,

Great site; I have been "lurking" for several years.

I just picked up a completely original 18' Sea Craft cc with a 10 year old Yamaha 150.

Growing up on the water in Sarasota FL, there were many Sea Crafts in my area on Little Sarasota Bay. I always admired them, and my parents' neighbor has owned his 18' forever. I asked him to let me know if he was going to sell it. He just bought a new 22' Grady and told my dad me was ready to sell. The price was very right. The boat has been hanging on davits for 30 years, used every winter and, since our neighbor has no mechanical skills, has had a total preventative maintenance schedule each year.
I already have a 17' Whaler, so that will have to go. For now, my dad will use the Sea Craft until I can have it shipped to Southern California. I am pretty excited since I have known the boat for over 20 years.

Pictures & more info to follow...

Can you fill me in on the history, features, ride, of the 18? I'm assuming this is a "Potter" hull; what is special about these hulls?

Thanks in advance!
