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.

Thanks MJ and ssiredfish. Now I wonder if my current trailer can handle all the extra weight if I extend the hull. It needs new springs right now, maybe I can get higher rated springs and axles? I can only go another foot forward with the winch post and I still have to figure in possibly 800lbs hanging 30" of the transom. While we are on the weight subject how much do yall think the actual hull itself no cap weighs?

Ok so the cap is around 500 I think. So hull weight is 14-15. Smoke was right. I really do not have any help on this project, so I want to make sure I have the mechanical means to flip the hull if need be. I do not want to get in over my head on this. The hardest part i see is the actual mold itself.

Jason, something just occurred to me.... You have the opportunity to build the PERFECT V... the wellcraft V-230 CCC
center console cuddy all of the room and fishability of a v-20 CC along with the storage and overnight ability of a v-20 cuddy.
