Hull extension approach options

That's the understatement of the year.

 

I'm in agreement on that. With that said it continues to amaze me what folks can crank out when they get a wild hair. It's a lot of work but if you have the free time....

 

I spend a lot of time and money on things that make no sense. However, I am aware that they are a hobby, so the consideration that it can be had easier and cheaper is not an issue. The OP seems to want a planing hull. If the intention is to save money, modifying a sailboat hull (even a free one) is more expensive than buying a used planing boat. So, what is the goal, to save money?

 

Radon boats are really popular in Californian, I've not idea why but they straight up have a cult following. I'd rather tells someone they have an ugly child than critique a radon to an owner. So that's probably the background as to why the bizarre draw to save and change the boat.

Someone stretched a radon pulled the outdrives and put in v drives and then straight shafts here locally. Probably around 01 or 02. It flipped and sand a few years later and I think ended up being salvaged to a landfill. Guessing stretch can be done to the smaller ones.

 

Just looking at the Radon boats, they are somewhat unusual hulls, probably handle a big following sea well, not sure about the ride up-sea though

 

Sorry, I’m just getting back on here. They were built to handle huge urchin loads in a following sea. Off the coast of Santa Barbara it’s always downhill home.
