Correct. Bigshrimpin is in need of some help with his Seacraft addiction and we are just normal.

About adding 2 feet to the boat. Thats a big undertaking. Doable but something that will take a long time to complete. I don't know if I would do it myself but it's been done before. Here are a couple pics of stretched 23's the first is a 26 albin and the second I don't know who makes it. Remember that adding 2 feet to length only gives you 2 feet in length. The difference between a 20 sf and a 23sf are many. Taller, wider and longer. They are two very different beasts. I've often thought it would be nice to have 23 that is 2 feet longer and a little wider as well say 4 inches wider per side. Then you would have a boat that was proportioned to it's length. Make a mold of a 23 and then modify the mold. Any how just a few thoughts. One more thing. There was a fella on Classicmako that added 2-3 feet to his Mako I could not find the thread. But it came out really nice.
