I get cranky?... actually if you bother to read you will see I have thanked several people who suggested different approaches. I am looking for technical inputs about how this could be done? or technical inputs on why this shouldn't be done? or shared experiences pros and cons from those that have already done it or are contemplating doing it? I look forward to the technical exchange of data. Someone's repeated random opinion about how it will affect the boats value is not really useful. I heard and appreciated your opinion on that the first time, thanks. I actually thought I was being pretty open by responding to you with all of the reasons I was still considering this, even with the knowledge that it will effect the boats value as perceived by some. Keep in mind it will greatly increase the value to me, which by the way is the only one really effected by the value of my boat. Please let me know if you have any technical inputs or real knowledge of this specific boat model and how this proposed modification would effect the boats handling or performance? I already have you down in the "you think I'm nuts" and "I'm ruining a perfectly good boat column".
