Is 1985 a "Potter hull"?

I would have to disagree. I have been told by a quite a few people that this is a potter hull.

Bill Potter was NOT at SeaCraft in 1985
The 23 was Bill's design working with Carl Moesly
in the early days..
But sorry to say your boat is not a Potter.
1970 to 1981 were the years I believe he was making
SeaCrafts.

Not to say your boat is any less... It is still a good
boat !!!

See ya, Ken

Rob-What you have been told is wrong. As Nobones said, it was designed in the Potter era, but not built under Potter's ownership. The hull is the same exact hull though. The reputation of that boat is excellent. Sorry to hear that you are selling. Best of luck.
