Default Re: So, has anyone ever.....

I post up a few pics of the old girl as she is now with the stern lift complete. The Silverhawk bracket is really cool. Its a VDH bracket and it fits the hull perfect.

I'm working now at Silverton Yachts here in NJ and we build the Luhrs boat here now too. My shop now does all the rails and towers for the two lines. We have a two week shut down comming up and there are guys in the glass room looking to make a few bucks during the shut down. So if all goes well it will be done in a few days and I'll never see any resin or glass on my fingers

I'll keep everyone posted with pics

This sounds like it is going to be a GREAT spectator's experience.

I've been wondering the similar thing , just if there have been any lengthened plug-boats that anyone knew of. Can't wait for an update.

Sounds too good to be true. If I were you I'd do it!

There was a member years ago, Noakbill, I think who stretched a 23 Seacraft to 27 or so widened it as well. Not sure if it was ever completed of the like but it has been done a few times.

Yo Don, If you need a donor organ...,
I have the 23 Sceptre (with serious nose rash)
sitting here at area 442, feel free to come
and get it to extend your Seavette!!!
The azz is perfect for a transplant.

See ya, Ken
