Here is something we've been working on. It is a custom one off 23 front end. The customer wanted it to look more like a 27 Shadow. He didn't want the walk off the front. So we tooled up this "One Off" and capped the whole nose.
Here is a shot of a stock nose.

Build a mold off of that before it leaves your shop. I hope that anyone that has a doubt is reading this forum because I'm pretty positive that most manufacturers would simply tell you that one off's couldn't be done. I'm sure this guy paid for it but at least he had the option.

That's basically what we already did. We tooled up the plug right on his boat, then made a mold off of it. We then took off the plug and threw it away.
Then we laid up a part in the new mold.
We took that part and glassed it on and then capped the whole nose. Then we did the gel graphics on the nose to match.

This would be cool on a 26 too.

I would say that as far as the 24 goes with a built in swimstep you have the new 26!!!

That is a 23 for me JW. I have always wanted a raised front end as I am paranoid the kids will wonder off of the front. I love it.

John, that looks real nice.... Seems like it would also do some good things to the aerodynamics of the hull.. Great job!

John,
Is it still considered a "deck boat" in the insurance world?
Ultrdennis,
Your avitar sure does look like the boat I had John build for me...:)

Yes, I was the original owner, and sold it to Derk. That boat has the nicest color combo...

I always thought the 23 would look sick as a closed bow as well.
