Stretch 20

[slowJEEP]

I've been working on the layout of my 20sf now that I've got it stripped down bare. I've got a small case of 2 foot itis and am thinking about adding in 2-3 feet just forward of the transom. I'm not expecting it to become a genuine 23 since they are significantly different boats. It just seems like an additional foot in front and a foot or two behind the console would go a long way to relieving the cramptitude.

As far as disturbing the hull design, I plan on adding a bracket so I've already departed from the original intent. Biggest opportunity for error I can figure is getting the cg located in a good spot. From a strength perspective, I'm gonna core the hullsides and probably increase the lateral cross section of the stringers either way.

Any thoughts?
