Since you asked, your crazy
I’m with Big on this one. Most of my time has been on boats with sails but my Seafari’s work really well in many situations. I personally like the protection of the cuddy too. Being in the N. East as well I know that just because air temp is nice doesn’t necessarily mean the spray is going to be pleasant.
If you go forward with your modifications and it’s cockpit space you really want I would consider a bracket and clear out all the stuff at the stern. I would first encourage you to search for Bushwacker’s and Capt Terry’s threads on brackets and CG. and study up. If you absolutely feel you need to cut, consider that the hull is not only structural, there is also a lot of engineering to get the correct static buoyancy, dynamic lift, etc. Even with a free Seafari these modification costs will be astronomical if they even work. You really need to find a newer 21 CC or even find a HiLiner Adventurer and restore it. It would be cheaper and easier in the end.
