Surface drive pockets fixed I guess. Basically a 6 foot added bustle over the drives, but with the design of the old PennYan's maybe for shallow water????? Or possible V Drives in the pockets?

Looks like they were trying to ruin a good hull to me, but I think Rat has the idea.

Looks like one of those breakthroughs in propulsion that would go forward in reverse.

I don't know what they were thinking, but I couldn't figure out which had more bondo, the hull or the Nissan Maxima next to it.

I can understand lengthening your fav boat but widening it to 10ft,what a project!

at what point does it just become easier to build a new hull??

Aaahh Yes But that requires a real Boatbuilder not a molder big Problem there to do things right.

Here too......:ack2:

The drive pockets are so close together that it's going to require staggered motors, On a twin inboard, this could be the first staggered inboard twin ever. No one has ever had balz enough to try it, but Viola, heres one......Let me and everyone else know how that works out......

Anyone know how to recycle fiberglass?

It's up to a buck twenty-five.

I can just hear the joy in some kid's voice when he shows his dad the "deal" he just scored on Ebay.
