yep, you are looking for a stripped hull; my sympathy on that grinder.
The concept is interesting and fun to think about. Can you reduce the weight of the cabin and high cabin cap such that it will equal the raised cg from the engine? Notched transom keeps it as low as possible, but its still a lot of engine weight up high and this hull can roll like mad if you muck with the vertical cg too much. Fore and aft cg is another issue and putting the engine weight aft means coming up with a lot more weight forward from somewhere. Extra fuel tank forward of the main tank bulkhead? There's room for 30 gallons or so, even after putting in the bulkhead that Potter left out. You might want to think about keeping it an I/O and reducing the height of the engine box. The deep hull keeps the engine box low already and it could be several inches lower, not too much impediment to fishing room. Keeping the I/O and reducing weight of cap and cabin and you should have a very stable hull with far less roll than its deeprise suggests. Note: the ride is so good that you can put the console further forward than in any other boat. You might want to play with some cg calculations to get a rough cut idea. Good luck finding one and a successfui project.

Yes definitely pipedreams at the moment Connor, haha
Just spitballing but... integral fresh water tank in the bow, fuel shifted forward, and a big natural livewell in front of the console to allow water in at rest ala the ballast design. Keep the weight where it needs to be. Just did a cap for a 25 Bert CC that i could lift single handedly. Pilothouse wont weigh much either... For sure envisioning some float tests being done!

 This was Richie Carvalho's old 25 that big fluke bought, before it went to Hawaii. I suspect the pilot house came off when the 25 went into a container for shipping. https://www.whoi.edu/page.do?pid=773...7802&id=162589 Coincidentally one of the senior engineers that managed the 25 seafari project for Steven Loui now works at WHOI. If I remember correctly he said there were four or five 25 seafari's that went to Hawaii. Kama II (Dougs 25 with twin 190 hp Volvo Duo Props) Devil Fish (Center Console) w/454 and Bravo Drive 25 with 300hpdi and Porta Bracket 25 with 480 hp Yanmar and Weismann drive I think there was one more.

Like to fab something up so that it will go back to the original mounting point of the original windshield. Something like member Handful near me done to his sceptre 23. I got a ton of low density foam and may try to do a mold so they could be duplicated possibly.
