Hey all, First off thanks for all of the feedback and thoughts, so many great ideas. I'll bet there are a lot more imaginations being tweaked out there than post so I'll bet that by the time this project is completed we'll have collectively perfected this idea. Norm, my plans were drawn up on...- Billy

Dave, If this turns out to be something you'd like to do, contact me again when you've decided and I'll give you all of the info I have. I have more early fabrication pictures that you might like to see if that time comes, that shows how they mocked it up. Details that might save you time if...- Billy

Norm, My best guess is about 3 weeks before getting it wet. Another week at the shop and I have to re-mount and re-rig it, adding another axle to the trailer too. Then I have this pesky thing called a job which keeps interfering with my boating. Of course, weather can still be a big factor this...- Billy

Gary on the SeaRam, Don't buy the CC yet!!! What if this works? It seems like this would be a lot cheaper and maybe even better with the new fishwell.., if it works. That CC is answering a lot of the shortcomings of the CDory, but I wouldn't trade mine off, I'll just change it, and if I survive...- Billy

Ok. There was some question as to what the net effect this extension might have on the stern weight and the resultant handling. Rightfully so, fact is I'm still not sure. I think that the majority of those that questioned the wisdom of this felt that because I was moving weight aft that I would...- Billy

New pics in the album showing the additions all glassed on. Should be gel coating in the next few days. Also shows the hatch cover that needed to be put in so that glass attachment was possible. Bill- Billy

Jimbo, I didn't figure that adding the 18" would change things to the point of needing to alter engine height anymore than what I have on the engine's mounting bracket, if at all. I think (hope) that if a change is necessary that those adjustment holes will do the trick. One of the other...- Billy

LunaC. If I had a shop that big, I'm sure I'd fill it with junk and not have room for this project anyway. No, I toyed with the idea of doing it but in the end I'm glad I didn't. When my bride and I went in to talk to the guy who is doing it, my wife's eyes instantly got irritated from the...- Billy

Byrdman, Thanks for the vote of confidence! If this turns out to be a mistake, it will just be my latest, not my first and I'm having fun. Hopefully some of you are having fun with me even if you might be laughing. The height and thickness of the new transom is identical to original, must just...- Billy

Wow! This stirred up more interest than I thought. Well, no matter how this turns out there seems to be entertainment value in it. I'll try to answer all of the questions I can remember. Ken, I'm certainly hanging out off the end of my trailer but I always felt that I was over taxing my...- Billy

I finally figured out how to reduce the size of the other photos I had and get them into my album, so there are some new ones of this project in there. Starcrafttom, disregard the PM if you want, these are the ones I was going to send to you. Bill- Billy
