Default 67 19' Bowrider conversion to bay style center console

Let me get this out of the way first. I know it's a shame to cut up such a classic Seacraft but a bowrider just doesn't cut it with us.
Going to put in a little broken shear and finish similar to a bay style boat.
Helped(mostly watched) my son cut out the floor and topsides out this evening.
I was amazed at the wood in this boat was in perfect condition. Zero rot anywhere.
Stringers are perfect.
Plan to raise the floor about 4" using laminated plywood on top of the existing stringers.
Going to go ahead and laminate the transom and then flip the boat over to get the hull in shape for paint. Much easier to let gravity help with the prep.
My son Brett is actually seacraft84.Will post pics as he gets along.
Lots of glass in this boat, very solid.
Had a Bohemi??? label on one piece of plywood.

Here is what we are looking at without all the dang rod holders in the gunnels.
Will be using a Bob's 14" hydraulic Jackplate instead of the full bracket.
With a smaller console

Your boat, do what you want.
Look again, the stamp says BOHEMIA. Situated in what is now the Czech Republic, it was the former home of the Hapsburgs, now porn capital of Europe and home to some really beautiful women.

At any rate, get a real good look at the grid Mr. Moesly designed and built. Freakin' stout! Get more pics. That was "how to build a boat better than anyone else."

And get a good look at his perfect shear-line. Freakin' beautiful IMHO!

Nobody asked but, IMO, the shear-line on the bottom picture doesn't work for a SeaCraft 20. In fact, I find it's F-ugly. I hope you'll re-think that.
If not -- I hope you get really wet!

O.K. - I'm done... Good luck with your project.

I gotcha.
That pic of the boat started as a 20' Seacraft.
The boat we have as it sits does have a good looking profile. We will be looking at it real close.

Never understood why r&r dose all those darn rod holders. It seems like a gaulty wast of money. Love the look of a broken sheer line, not sure on the 20 due to the sides are so low to begin with but as a bay boat it would work well im guessing. I really love the way the sheer line looks on those beauties your dad has built. He is quite a craftsman, and looking threw his post on marcus's site he is very fast and productive as well. One day I am going to try my luck at a cold mold boat. If this boat turns out like any of you and your dads other projects im sure it will be very nice.

Here is a picture of one cut like your talking about, a member posted this pic a while back. I kinda like to look of it. With a floor raised 4" and sides this low the will not be much free-board but it will look cool!
