Mike-

What is the hull number of the boat you're looking at? All the U.S.-built
Potters except the first generation model (like mine) have a liner in the
cabin that I would think would hide the hull-to-deck joint. (Someone else
will have to verify that; I don't have one to look at.)

Is it possible that a previous owner used spray foam to seal a leak at the
joint?
