1972 Gulf Coats Newbie

[muddywater]

I have a 72' also. My hull id is 4 digits and is not engraved on the transom. It was on a very faded metallic sticker on the console which I intend to have remade. The really early Potter models like ours are set up a little different, so our gas tank is in the console and our livewell is in the port side transom box instead of in the deck. The earliest Potter models like the 69' are slightly different from ours in the location of the rod storage being farther aft I think and I am not sure what else. I don't know offhand what year they started putting the tank under the deck.

If you have the original transom, it is 20 inches so you would have to have a jack plated jacked up 5 inches to put a 25 inch shaft motor on it without raising your transom.

Where are you located btw?
