I hear yah . . . don't forget the rigging another 2k including mounting and remounting the outboards.

Those material costs I posted are just for the mods to the boat . . . not including the materials for the bracket.

You're commiting to a 7k project and doing hard time grinding glass for 6months (if you do it yourself). Is it really worth the extra 2 feet???

I like the design, but you've gotta do a cost benefit analysis and be realistic.
