I speculate that without tabs, making the boat longer will still require tabs to get the best ride.

Yep I got a set of hydraulic tabs.

I think a donor hull might not be the best way to extend a hull. Hull stretcher 100% easier.

You are right Ridge. Which reminds me. My meglinating variable intesity multifunction power tool is the LIMITED EDITION! The bearings are lubricated by wax from Chuck Norris' ears. GUARANTEED FOREVER!

Build you a rack to put your boat in just like the thread. Then screw melamine or a F.R.P to the outside the boat then spray a pva release wax. Build the thickness up with heavy woven and csm alternating layers. Then return the cloth progressively about 3 or 4 foot into the hull on both sides of the patch. Let it kick then remove your out mold boards then progressively do the same layup as you did the inside. I would think that would git er done!!!! Add new stringers. Sounds simple...... But that's a lot of work!!

Boat lengthener .....extender..... " how to "

1. Chain saw the boat across the marked line approx 2' ahead of the stern.
Just cut the darn boat in half there.

2. Cut 5' sections for the floor, and two sides.
A. Slather on a complete coating of 5200.
B. Fit these sections into place, with 1' overlap on each side.
C. Then drill holes every 6" and run stainless bolts with washers, and more 5200.
Run em' right through the hull, don't be bashful about it.

3. Tighten it all up, then coat the outer and inner hull with epoxy and gel coat.

4. Let dry, then wet sand and polish if that's important to you.

Then take your new V24 out on the ocean and have fun.

Total time for the job - figure 4 hours.

You didn't mention any duct tape? Or a piece of foil off a chewing gum wrapper. Both mentioned must must have some structual integrity to build.

Come on man - this is the " get er done " instructional.

Cut, insert, glue, bolt, coat.

Two hour job if you're in a hurry. Four if you want to be fussy about it.

Yall are hilarious. Kracker no jokes its a ton of work. Your idea would have the most strength as it has layers built up on the hull on inside and outside. That would require flipping the V. Anybody know what just a V hull weighs? There are no scales nearby. Unless I go buy five bathroom scales and weigh the trailer with and without the boat.

I believe my 20CC is 1800lbs, hull only....
