Sounds right to me! Unless you're tied to the boat, seems like it would be better just to get rid of it and get something else!

I don't think you'd get even 20% of the money back you spent on 'upgrades' when you sell it.

I think if I was going to take on a project like that I'd go back rather than forward. Invest that time and money into cutting the back of the boat off and adding 4' to the back. Find a good glass guy to tie it in nicely. Save the fuel capacity, save the cockpit and turn it into a one off 42... Or buy a different boat. Lol

isnt that what was done to the white lightening boat? heard that was a stretched 38 cig. i would call up a few people that have the full stag 38 TG's and try and get some ideas from the boats from the factory on how they made everything fit... it would be a cool project none the less.
