The 26' project
Posted: Sat Jun 06, 2015 3:19 pm
I have a stripped 26' hull, two new marine small blocks and a very small IQ.
This is the plan.
1. Go from a single screw to twins.
2. Extended the hull 4' and build a "Sea Ray" style "built in" swim platform with steps down from the aft deck.
3. Move engine aft as little as possible, to get the props under the new hull extension with new rudders.
4. Redesign the cabin/aft deck to 21 century, move head forward and make it wet, new galley and larger dinette table area.
5. Long list of things not covered in 1-4
Not the goal, but I think "if" it gets "completed", it will be the fastest Marinette on the water, guessing 60mph
I KNOW THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA, it would be much easier to buy another boat, so lets leave those comments out.
where I would like help is with the hull extension and convertion to twins, has anyone done this, links to helpful sits, anything anyone can think of?
