When I first moved to Ellenton, FL 5 years ago there was a guy here doing the same thing. He added 2 feet to make it a 25 and ran it with a 300 hp yanmar with a bravo 1. The boat looked real nice and repordedly hit 50mph. He was selling them for about 52k. He moved and I don't know what happened to him or the boat I saw. It was a black hull.

Up this way, a place on Cape Cod builds a 26 CC with a single diesel, straight shaft. With a 440hp Yanmar they do 40 knots. The word is it's a stretched SC 23 hull.

Slider,in Key West. I went and talked to the builder today he will have the first one out of the mold in a couple of weeks he says hes got 5 sold.It deffinetely is a 23 he had the mold there.He's doing the first 5 with Stainless Marine bracket which I dont care for the floatation chanber on these is not a V like Hermco or Armstrong. Im going to keep going by and checking on the quality. He says hes bulding them with no wood all going to be the rigid yelleow foam. Ill keep you'll posted.RS.
