The hardest part was getting the old boat fair enough. The bulkhead located at the helm caused the most problems. This hull utilizes 1708 cloth, matt, and coremat in Polyester resin with a Vinylester resin barrier coat. The sides (above the chine) are cored with 1/2" PVC foam (divinycell) while the stringers are cored with divinycell and the transom with Coosa Bluewater 26. In the end you get the great mosley hullform built with modern materials and construction methods. I think it's superior to the current Seacrafts! Simple and solid!

This hull is being finished as a center console... I am working on a seafari style cuddy with a closed transom and a hermco bracket for myself.

All it takes is time and money and more time and more money.... oh did i say money?

How many hours of Prep work did that take to fair the boat?
Are you going to make another mold before you finish the project?

Very, Very Nice. Looks like instead of looking for a old one to re do we could start with a new one instead and build it out.

I'm totally impressed. If you mold a Seafari cap for it I'll be in awe!
