Strick has done some "Gucci" boats. I done the sceptre for a family boat for skiing and tubing with the kids but with a family of five (3 kids) the 25' seafari just makes more since. I never got to wild Gucci-ing the 20' up or will I do the 25' real wild yet due to I want to get it going by spring. I cut out a lot of my plans on the 20' once I got the 25' and didn't do nothing to exotic like first planned. But watch out for my seacraft race boat thread once I get to work on it, that one I will be going after the "Gucci Award". The plans on it change daily sometimes but it will be an eye catcher I hope.
Good luck with yours, some people like to cut the transom from the rear but I prefer to cut the back liner skin out and do it from the inside. There are advantages both ways but way more for doing it from the inside. Just a few examples of advantages changing the core from the inside: You can make it thicker easier, you don't disturb the outer shell of the hull, you can fillet the corners then tab them in better, better access & more space to work, easier to remove the old core out, less likely to trap air when laying it up and most of all way less fairing. Did I say way less fairing?...lol
