Just got around to measuring my new Potter 15....Turns out it is 14 ft.
long (hull). Is one supposed to take into account the rudder (which
probably adds another foot when mounted)?
I don't really mind the difference, it is just a bit confusing.
An idea for extra floatation......junk the open cell foam pads that
come standard and replace with a couple of those closed cell foam
swimming pool floaters, cost about $100 for two.
Does anybody out there have a list of lakes, waterways in Calif. where
it is permissible to sleep on the boat overnight? I am just itching to
use my Potter as a floating camper. -Get away to some quiet cove and
anchor, get away from the crowds........
All in all, I like the Potter, and I am quite pleased with the overall
gear and workmanship. I think Int. Marine treated me very fairly, and
were quite efficient in processing my order.
Damn, it's hard to come up with a suitable name. Started off with
"Shorty" but never made it official....I've taken it back.
Regards, Bernie Johnson, Santa Paula, CA.
