Was called the Overnighter.Potter says it was the last one he designed and they only built about a couple dozen.

EBEACH,

Does it have purpose while underway? Or is that what the other four beefy stringers are for?

Thanks again for your help unraveling this mystery.

Sorry that last reply should have been pointed at HermCo

Was not necessary when underway but I'm sure it didnt hurt either. It was primarily to stiffen the keel area that rode on the trailer rollers.

HermCo,

Thanks for your help with this. I guess we can put this string to bed.

I'm glad I found this thread. Anyone see a problem with removing about the first two feet of the center stringer and beefing up the keel?

not a problem at all. Just make sure you add some glass to strengthen the area up.
