A friend of mine manages the HMS factory where your boat was made. Unfortunately, they only made them for a couple of years. They continue to produce the West Wight Potter sail boats today as they have since 1960. In 1990, I sailed a 15 foot potter the entire Sea of Cortez solo. They make very fine boats. If you ever need info for you boat, you might try West Wight Potter, and ask for Capt Bill. BTW, brand new, your boat was about $5,000.
Sweet... thanks for the info Bruce... I'll definately contact Capt. Bill if I need info on this boat.
I figured the boat was pretty inexpensive but the 06 Honda 50hp four stroke sealed the deal for me... :)
Just sumed up all the receipts that I have and so far I have spent $2200 on accessories and crap... Stainless steel parts are a grip... I have also taken the boat out about six times and caught a total of eight fishes... :(
That's a very nice rig for the money. Good purchase.
Sweet Boat!!! Nice Job!!!
thanks guys.
UPDATE
Ordered two new helm seats for just under $100 shipped :)

I went to home depot and got some PVC caps and just shoved them on over the guide lights...
Grimpy and Jsauce, it was nice to meet you guys on Castaic on Saturday. Grimpy, your boat is sweet. How did you guys do. We ended up with 9 stripers baiting and waiting on the dam area and on area by the west ramp. As for loading the boat back to the trailer, we had difficulties because our guide is too wide. I need to get a new bunk guide for my trailer.

NICE ride!!!
You didn't have to go and do that just for me. Thanks. :bigsmile:Originally Posted by grimpy
