Thanks for the information. The assigned hull number does resemble the state registration number a little bit. I guess I confused the Mark 1 with the 1st generation gunter rig Potters. Not sure how I am going to restore her yet. It has already been modified from original. She has a sliding hatch that someone installed later. Cut right through the non skid on the cabin and used plywood as a filler aroung the opening, reasonably well done. Unless that would be a UK type of addition. Looking at it today I will probably have to remove the cockpit to change all the interior wood including the hull stiffeners. I peeked under the cockpit at the "foam flotation" and saw what looks like a bunch of broken up packing styrofoam. I will take some pictures when the cockpit comes out. I will probably make it nice, not a strict restoration. Since so much is missing it will depend more on what I can scrounge up during the restoration. Today I started building an area out of the weather to get started, also ordered the penetrating epoxy for all the new wood. Tomorrow I will try and get a good photograph of the sticker on the interior of the transom. I will also see it anyone remembers the original owners name while I am at the yard this weekend. Thanks again for the input. Greg
