Thanks for the encouragement Smoke, Spare, and Reel. It seems building the mold and getting it lined up is the hardest part. If I do the hull extension I will still do the outrigger bracket which takes some stress of the extension. Good thinking on the fuel tank, Reel. Do yall think additional stringers may be needed? Such a modification will have to be done using epoxy for the most strength. I will need help though. Another question, is regarding title. Will I have a 2013 Wellcraft V22?

only if you decide to title it as home built... then it would be a 2013 or 2014 JCPF v22

Stringer would have to be extended to tie in with the transom, you can sister them in place to the existing stringers. Epoxy is good, but not neccesary

She is getting new stringers so that is covered. I plan to use epoxy on the extension and bracket just for my own piece of mind. Still undecided on the extension. At this point I do not care how long it takes I just want to do it right. The hull bottom is 3/8 - 1/2" thick right at where the cuddy starts. Is it the same all the way?

you know, the easiest way would be to find a stripped out derelict v20 hull and graft the two together, look around, you could probably fine one. Check with Lanier Marine Salvage. If you find an I/O boat to cut the back off, it would be an easy bracket job from there

Spare I will keep a look out. But will this be as strong as if I laid new glass for the two foot filler? Its a long shot but I will check the 18 Fisherman I have at the house. I think it does not have the deadrise ? of a V20 though.

If I do decide to register it home built, do I need to go thru Coast Guard? And who determines max HP? I need a 300 HP rating at least. Also what about the HIN? Does it need to disappear?
