Thanks for the reply, the experience with my 18SF and building that lines up with the reccos. I mean all I hear is that the Potter hulls are better made that's what points me in that direction not any desire to say I own a potter. I did move the console forward some in my 18SF when I bolted the Suzuki 140HP on the new 25" transom. It was a sympathetic resto on a clean 1976 that had good floors and even decent hatches. New gas tank, new raised transom, all new wiring and two batteries, leaning post, bilge pumps etc I wouldn't go more than 200 either, was kinda kidding about building the fastest one, just want a quick boat within reason but it has to be balanced. Talking to a resto place on budget today to get a feel. As I mentioned, I love what Johnson Brothers are building but they nickle and dime you on everything. But I guess quality costs $$$
