Potter basically ran the company with that "Lovin Feelin," thus things were done right most,if not all of the time- transoms being an exception, as is so often the case- too many through holes. Later boats started getting needlssly heavier, but they are great boats too, just not quite as quick but possibly having an edge in the heavy water with their weight.
You've got to ask yourself: Am I going to buy a boat and will this one do what I want it to do- size, rigging, configuration, etc. If the answers are yes, then 6 grand is not a bad price- unless your name is Chuck Strickand or you have the time to wait a year or two. Acouple of years ago you'd been looking at 7-8 grand for the boat!!
Sorry Strick, you're not going to get away that easy!!!!
