I intend to lenghten the hulls of an old SC20. Basically I only want to extend the bow by changing the shape to a more modern straight bow but keep the original hulls and structure like it is. So the principle would be glueing foam onto the existing structure, shaping it and cover with carbon fibres than. I think of an overall hull lenght extension of 1-2 feet with most volume added to the lower part of the currently eliptical shape as it is intended to end up with a straight bow. As the sctructural integrity of the hulls is not touched, this bow extension would only have to withstands the forces from the water/waves.

I wonder if anyone has done this before and is willing to share his knowledge which would be highly appreciated!

Kind regards

Dirk
