I've seen and spent time on some very nice non-Potter hulls and have owned two Potter hulls. While there may have been a few bad boats from time to time, I'd suggest judging each hull on its own merit and take the quality of the hardware (a topic which gets brought up a lot) out of the equation: replacing deck hardware and fittings is easy and doesn't cost much in the grand scheme of things. And if anyone really likes that original era marinium hardware, there is a complete set in the Martin County landfill in South Florida
