Very nice! I'm always impressed with high quality custom fiberglass work. A lot of guys with 20' SeaCrafts and later 23's would benefit from this type of design.

VERY nice work! Will the top piece you mentioned will bring it to the full height of the transom?

The motors will not tilt up all the way, but they will come within a couple inches of full tilt which is fine for towing, etc... If I get a new tie rod that is not offset then they will go all the way up.

The top piece will go all the way over the motors like on a 27 conch. It will have a bait prep station on top, and reduce the engine noise significantly. I might put a rod holder or two on it as well. It will be removable for trailering or maintenance.

I am also going to upgrade to the extreme model shift cables (tighter allowable bend radius 4" instead of 8"), and redo the rigging tubes so that they aren't in the way.

Nice glass work...and those rare Merc 500hps must fly! What type of hinges are you planning for the upper section?
