Looks like they are doing some interesting work. Although, I am not fond of the idea of renaming it a Conch.
Personaly I would call it a Seacraft by R&R. Same way CAY does all his boats. You may be changing the whole inside of the boat and some of the looks and style, but the hull is still a Seacraft, let alone what the title says.
Just my 2c worth.

Re: Seacraft to Conch rebuilds
 

A Conch is a Conch and SeaCraft is a SeaCraft.

This form of inbreeding does not get me excited

I have seen many more mods made on this site that put this rehab to shame (I hate the console) The owner plans on sticking rods all over the gunnels and fishing in 1,000 ft plus waters at night for swordfish with a 18" transome !??! -------> Good luck with the safety issue.
After he gets his final bill, I bet he will wish he had started with a 23' or larger hull. I have fished both and a 27' Conch is a whole different animal.
My 2c.

And a triple ditto!! It's not my money and the gentleman can do as he wants and I wish him well, however seems to me a 23' SeaCraft would be the way to go if you are going to spend that kind of moola!

Multiple Dittos. I agree it would have made alot more sense to start with a 23' hull. I also think lowering the gunnels on a boat used offshore is a mistake, particularly if the raised the deck any. I feel more secure offshore in my MA than in No Bones' SF. Those gunnels look like they are at mid calf. But he will have what he wants.

Well its cool to see someone running with the design and putting some new ideas onto our favorite hulls. I am pretty interested to see what they do with the 23. I always thought that the 20 with a closed transom and a jack plate would be an ideal set up for a bay boat

Cutting the shear line on a SeaCraft is like trying to touch up the smile on the Mona Lisa. They ruined a beautiful boat IMHO. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. :(
