Re: NEEDED: derelict/salvage 58' YF or 53' MY for parts
I wonder what the hard top extention is going to do to the lines and proportion of the boat. Same with an enclosure, if the rear section (along the stern) is vertical instead of slanted, the aesthetics won't be as good and you don't gain much anyway All the 53s I be seen have the rear slanted not vertical. Sleeker

Sure. I'll be down the boat next week an will take a bunch more pics. Go on my profile page till then to give you an idea of what its like. We love it enclosed. To Pascal's point, I will shoot some broadside photos once the shrinkwrap is off and you can see that the back of the enclosure does slant inward making for a pleasing line. I would think that the extension of the roof deck would be ok as long as the back porch enclosure slants inward.

The lines, about 10 years ago I moved my fly bridge forward 25", now the bridge leading edge and the windshield are on the same line. Nobody ever asked a question about it.
Also there is a 58 YF, called "Admiralty", i last saw her at Block Is, that had the bridge deck extended and enclosed, while it looks different than the 58 YF we are used to it looked good. It resembles 58 LRC enclosure. From the side. A nice job, quality work.

Actually, the lines won't change my boat's profile much. Remember that I have that piped up 4' canvas canopy off of the back of the roof top already. It basically will replace the canopy. As far as the fwd slant , the enclosure will be fwd slanted like a typical hard enclosure used on our boats. It will look correct.
It's not that difficult really.

The weight will be an issue as will the additional structure and support systems. What about the davit? Will it move?
I honestly don't think that an extra 4' will make that big of difference weight wise. The new hydraulic davit now installed will stay in the same place. Yes structural fiberglass and Coosa board will be part of the structure.

Bill, when you say in the yard, you mean on the hard?

Trust me, it will be done and it will be done correctly and look great....
Just build it make a reverse mold and it then will be exactly what you want I did this for a customer. It was made so that you can support the hard bottom raft also.

With photoshop, this is about what the roofline would look like extended.
