Bruce,
Yes those half tubes are to be hull stiffeners and they have been separating
from the outer hull. Mine came directly from the factory in the condition you are
discribing. I really think they (IM) should take the matter more seriously and do
a better job of apply them. I'll bet most Potter owners have never looked closely
to notice they have this stringer separation too.

Hello Potterers,
Have any of you noticed if the tubular hull stiffners (I assume that is what
they are for) that run perpendicualr from the centerline of the hull at about
the sink location have started to separate from the bottom of the boat? Mine
are starting to separate at the end of the tube that is towards the center of
the hull.
Katie, my Potter mate and wife thinks that their function is to keep things
from rolling aft from the sink area.
What is your opinion of their function and would you be concerned if the end
4 or 5 inches was separated from the bottom?
