Tom,
I'm sure it will.. Take your time and stay true to the foundation of what a banana is.. Just keep it simple and clean and you will have a fantastic boat once finished:. It truly is an amazing riding boat.. Hands down a superior ride than most the same size..I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out..
Thanks,
Joe

Joe, and Charlie for that matter-
my plan is to build on the foundation of what a Banana 24 is, but make some subtle changes to make her a unique boat ( i fully understand all bananas are unique) . Mostly dash board and a minor things that no typical person would not notice, but the enthusiast would spin their head off their shoulders for a second look.
charlie, i hope you approve-
I know my boat is a PE and not an actual CM boat, that does not mean it has to be built to a second class standard. She will be built to the best of my ability in all senses of the word.

Tom,
I looked at every Banana I could find on the Internet and then put mine together with how I thought would make it unique.. Just keep in mind you build on what a Banana represents.. I chose the classic/original look and kept most all parts I purchased the boat with. Then added a bit of an updated look in some areas.. But at the end of the day.. It is an Awesome Banana Boat..
Thanks,
Joe

KP go on Charlie's website.... the 2008 banana was mine. we did some things to make it unique and bring it up to date. I have seen your boat (and almost bought it...) it will look great when you are done. I have a sonic now that I am trying to sell so that I can build a new Banana. Please keep us posted on your progress.... and don't forget if you have questions just ask.... there are several guys here that know lots about these especially the guy that built them....
