True that on the fairing and blocking/ longboarding. I spent alot of time away from my wife and child building Emma's(My Daughter) Black Jack. I was sad too, I spoke to Carla that day, I was having some major equipment & material issues and was stuck onsite at my clients that week. I am considering all, I have dialoge with many of the most reputable non high volume builders, the boutique boat builders. I am surrounded by so many talented individuals. So yes I am looking for Joint venture, in the interim I can Kit them in different (limited)configurations.Right now with the economy the way it is, I have to be very carefull with the marine industry down at least 65% and more than 1/2 of that labor unemployed. It is Sad. There are lots of opportunities for success and failure. I would be willing offer just a shell ( Bare hull no stringers or with stringers), like what I started with. I may even offer a stitch and glue kit option. Right now I am making it easy and not locking into one specific way, I want to be easy, flexible, open and nimble. Right now, while My partner and me are in full control, We can dictate the pace, to a point.
At the same time we have been getting advice from Naval Engineers. We will continue to pursue dialoge within the industry paralell to producing. I am surprised to have run into a few folks in the industry that are keenly aware of the original hull, it's history, raced alongside it, and it's evolution.

OK Great thread and nice salvage job :cool

We just don’t see boats lying around like that up here.... especially SeaCrafts :o

I really have not seen anything like the 21 in the "new" boat market SO it may be that you have your niche. Not to mention the pedigree is impeccable.

Have you thought about 2-piece vs 3-piece mold? Just thinking about the 23 and 20.

Thanks Ryan.
Not Much, I know it's rare, and it has lots of value, and could command a premium, I don't want to Rape anyone. So it will be more than fair. The goal is for others to enjoy, as I have. For you, it would be even less, You probably don't feel this way, but I still owe you! You are a great man and good soul!
I would love for the Craft to bear some symbolism to the great Mr. M. He Created what is now a great legacy, almost dissapeared, It should live on with credit and glory to him.

looks like i need to get home so we can get to work

Re: Who Wants one? Original 21.....considering ord
 

If the reverses in the tumblehome will clear we may have a modified 1 piece mold/tool. Looking at the hull shape it appears it would release by pulling up on the bow first and then forward, the boat is a bit wider in mid ship. A high slip release may help in this case. I am planning on infusing the hull, CCBM. I get approached at every stop when trailering or fishing.

Yea, "that dog won't hunt"
Did ya see anything interesting in the sticks?

Re: Who Wants one? Original 21.....considering ord
 

im curious to know roughly how long it took you to raise that hull from its resting place??

Re: Who Wants one? Original 21.....considering orders.
 

each and every one of us wants one, you know it!

Re: Who Wants one? Original 21.....considering ord
 

About 7 hours,not including the pre planning, It was a little different than we last saw and what we expected. We had to try several strategies, but were were prepared from our planning.. We had 2inch and 3 inch pumps many Tractor tubes and Poly drums. Brownies Third lung, which allowed us to stay under and inflate the floats.
