Bearfish, for that model you are correct, I don't think Potter made any center console 27's. I was just referring to the hull of the 27. Here is an e-mail I dug up from the man himself !! Bill potter e-mailed me back in 2003, he was also interested in my Pilot house (Shamrock). from this e-mail I would assume my boat was Potter Built, or maybe the Merritt Brothers made the hulls???.
I was just asking what trailer he had preferred.

The beam on the 27s we built was 9' 10" and the centerline length was 26' 9". The hull deadrise at the transom was 18 degrees. The weight of your boat will be the determining factor for the number of axles. I like Continental trailers and they could advise you about the best size for your boat. Talk to Kelly Hays at Waterland Mfg./Continental Trailers [305] 594 1022. continentaltrailers.com.
I believe your boat was built up from a tooling hull we sold to one of the Merrits who built some of the best custom sport fishing boats in the 35' and up sizes here in south Florida. Most of the 27s we built from 1968 til 1980 were IOs, but our last series the 27 Master Anglers were twin inboards [16 out of a total of 38, built from ' 78 to ' 80]
Happy Seacrafting! Bill
