I wish someone would take a picture and show me this. It's not that I don't believe it, I just would like to see what
it looks like.

Here's an 85 Scepter I looked at last Sunday that definitely has the hook in port center panel (first picture below). I only had a 2' straightedge, but biggest gap was about 1' fwd of transom. Gap was about 1/16 to 1/8". Longer straightedge might show a bigger gap. Appeared to be a slight hollow spot in port inner panel also, but was by myself and had a hard time holding straightedge and taking photo at same time!
Port outer panel is straight.
I thought I remembered that all stbd panels were straight, but after looking at this shot of innermost stbd panel again, it also appears to show a very slight hook or hollow spot, a little further fwd than port side.
Hope this clarifies the issue of the hook in some post-Potter hulls! Denny
