Well, the plan is a Hermco bracket w twin Zuke 300/350s.

Removing the flybridge is a lotta weight forward, so it makes sense to add more weight
there. They also have long runs and it is nice to tuck in away from squalls.

The kicker is if he will do some mock ups with the bridge wings so we can help
them get the shear lines just right.

Ricky Scarborough was one of the only shops to get the lines right on smaller
hulls. That is not easy to do when configuring for large humans.

The Buddy Davis 28 is an example of who drew this? Not trying to be mean,
but hey.

Do have any pictures of your other project boats? Especially the 1974 20 cc that is sold

I was just messing around, hard to see a rare bird cut up but I do think the express conversion will be really cool. Lots of custom local builders here in NC doing smaller express style hulls now. They seem to be what every one wants or is more affordable than the full cabin larger sisters. Cant wait to see how it turns out. After missing my chance at that other big 27 that was on the property and dragging my feet on the second one I looked at, I have kept my eyes open for another 86-87 year hull to pop up. Like I need another project but the big tanks would make a good offshore day hull.

Frizzle-

There was a 27 for sale last month around you in North Carolina. I saw it on craigslist but cant find it now. It was the flybridge style. Do you know who bought it??
