A Brief History of SeaCraft & The Potter Hull
The legacy of SeaCraft boats began in the early 1960's when founder Carl Moesly purchased the inventory of American Marc, including 80 boats, machinery, tools, supplies and molds at their plant located in Miami, Florida. American Marcs were of a various assortment of styles and designs without any 'family' resemblance. Moesly saved only four molds from the fleet of a dozen designs and operated under his name for a short time until he incorporated under the name of SeaCraft.
To bring recognition to the SeaCraft name, Moesly began racing modified versions of American Marc boats. Moesly did well in boat racing, claiming multiple titles and building up recognition for the SeaCraft brand. Moesly continued to build and sell these American Marc boats under the SeaCraft name while he began to work on his own ideas for a different type of boat. The groundbreaking design from Carl Moesly in the 1960s of a variable-deadrise hull, longitudinally stepped hull provided exceptional rough-water handling both on a plane and while trolling. Moesly designed it to be the perfect small fishing boat, taking advantage of the best of Ray Hunt’s deep-V design, yet balancing it with the slow-speed stability and efficiency of more flat-bottomed hulls.
