Sorry to hear about your dad! The 87 is an excellent vintage 23. Potter glass lay-up is well documented and also are the rotting cores in the decks and transoms after 30 plus years. Your right people Will always seek out the Potter and for good reason. What people miss is the quality in all the 80's boats ( we have owned an 87,88, and 89. And I can tell you that none of our 80's boats needed a transom and they were untouched from the factory. Both of my Potter boats have had soft cores- mainly age, but NOT only age caused the bad cores.
