HIN Identification Assistance (1987 18 SF)

[Michael Vezzosi]

Hello All. Need help deciphering actual manufacturer of Vezo, Part I's 1987 18 SF. Hin is SICF8100B787. Original/ previous owner led to believe it was one of the last "Potter Built". Not sure if possible, but interested. Thanks to anyone who can help.

With a limping 1995 rebuilt Johnson 150, and newly discovered fuel tank leak, we are assessing true value. The original 47 gallon aluminum cell has a pitted opening on top nearly the size of a pencil. At approximately $10/gallon, do we want to try and remove and replace ourselves. Any information appreciated. Has anyone been able to slide console forward enough to gain access without complete removal? In the initial size-up stages. Thanks. Vezo, Part II.
