it is certainly unique, and is kind of a representation of when I tell people to think ahead of what your doing if you might one day sell a boat. The modifications on that boat will speak to one person in specific, just as the complete overhaul on my own boat would.
I like a few aspects but some I have to question, like the cockpit floor being wood, and the color scheme..... the tongue extension makes me wonder as well some just because it has the boat leaning forward.... I would like to see more pictures of that just to see what is going on there as far as how it works and such.

Interesting, and unique indeed.

    thats pretty cool, but mac is right. it would hurt marketability somewhat. but you have to appreciate the work involved. more wood than i would want to fool with.

Mac-With the boat leaning forward with the tongue extension it will fit the trailer nicer on the ramp.  Got to remember when the boat is level on the water and the trailer is sloped on the ramp there is a transition taking place.  May be hard to get the trailer over the edge at the top of the ramp where it transitions to the level driveway.

That cockpit floor looks great but I bet it's mighty slippery when wet! I love the number boards.
Still, it's nice to see some unique work being done. The wood cabin sides look great, too but while I'm out sailing, this owner might be back at the dock varnishing.
