: Your modifications are looking good! I'm happy to see people change
: around the design to meet their needs. It's a great all around
: hull to start from.

I hear ya Duane. I like the hull shape but I've got quite accustomed to the snugger fit and "roallability" of lower volume boats and I felt compelled to drop the deck. And with dropping the deck I could correct some of the issues I had with the initial build - like over sized cockpit and crappy padeyes!! And exposing the inside of the hull offered a great opportunity to add the skeg.

I wanted a project but I really didn't want to take on another boat. Besides with a perfectly good hull, why not just modify the Point Bennett. And the rest they say is history. I'll be sanding and glassing the inside of the hull tonight and then I can start on the more "fun" stuff like the cockpit coaming, Maroske fittings and hatches!!!

Cheers,

Sean
