Willard 730 Project

[RyanPratt]

Starting to rebuild 2 Willard 730's from the ground up. We are going to remove diesels, cut out old deck and counsel and add a hull extension so we can hang twin 175's. Lets see how this goes.

Have the mold for the hull extensions ready for the bottom

[RyanPratt]

We have made new transom boxes to replace the full size ones and have built them just large enough to accommodate the fuel filters and the engine cables

New 3/8 aluminum 130 Gal. tank

Our mold got wrapped up today and is going in for the layup process this afternoon.

We have them ready for rigging 38x38x53

We have finished glassing and trimming the two new rear boxes and cut out the holes for the hatches.

How hard would it be to place a console with a head on this one? Would there be enough room below the deck for a step down?

[RyanPratt]

You could but you would sacrifice fuel capacity as the tank runs from the back of the console forward, so you would end up with a 60 +- fuel tank.

Pretty groovy lookin projects Ryan. Aren't you afraid those hull extensions will break?
