The liner only extends back as far as the bridgedeck on mine - the aft interior
of the hull, the flotation, transom reinforcment are all visible from the
inside.
If you want to see the details of the liner and CB trunk, swing by this evening.
I've got cushions and trim stripped out while working in the bilges on the CB
pivot. I'll be reassembling tonight!
I'm also thinking about a test sail this weekend (Sunday?) to check my repairs
for leaks. Are you, or any Potterers for that matter, interested in going out
for a few hours? I've never sailed at San Leandro........

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?
