Those pictures of the 23' at anchor were sent to me by Brent the boats owner.

Dan....I hope Brent didnt mind me snapping that pic @ the dock in Rock Harbor I got to say it one of my favorite lunch spots...sittin next to that boat....that 23 is NICE

Trayder, we got to meet up some time. I saw you on the bank tuna fishing once or twice last year and did not realize that was you in the conch. A conch 27 would be my dream boat.....someday. I also think that you may fish with one of my cousins friends. Small world. Steve's 27 is pretty much how I want my 23' to look like minus the pul-pit. I was thinking of using the nida core or divinycell for the front and two sides. It's the top that is going to be tough. I want a slight curve to the top, I was told they don't look very well with a flat top. I plan on buying the window's from the same place that warthog and chance got theirs from.
John, don't worry about the pic, Brent has been really helpful and instrumental with helping me so far come up with ideas about my build.

Oh yeah and one of the sickest Conch 27's ever is for sale. Only one ever built with a full keel.

Pacific Pilothouse makes all kinds of cool looking models but they are expensive. Good for ideas if nothing else.

TunaMeltdown-

Well I have been to your house....not sure if you knew I was the one the bought your poon harpoon? yes, I think we have a few friends in common.

As for the top its not that hard, honest, buy some formica and make a flat...errr... curved mold lay up a few layers of glass, put ply wood , or even aluminum plate where you will mount Radar, antennas, etc and then lay in your core, in pieces if your want to make it easier, then glass that to the top of your structure, make sense?

[TunaMeltdown]

Yeah, I had know idea that was you, sorry. Kind of funny, I had to sell that in order to come up with the down payment for the new SeaCraft and I am selling the T-top to Kevin Glynn who owns Offshore inovations and the Poon harpoons. He's buying it for a new harpoon and $700. It's a real small world. Anyhow my Uncle/cousin, Richie Stewart works at Pyne sand and stone and knows someone that you fish with.

just a few more ideas for you. The blue seacraft20 is my brothers that i built for him last winter.

I will be building the mold for my Pilot House this weekend. I should have it finished by Sunday. I post up pictures of the finished mold. If you like what you see you can borrow it once I'm done laying up the core and glass/epoxy. Heynow will get first dibs.
