38 + 5 H&H

[Bill]

My buddy Chuck DiStefano just stretched this 38 H&H 5 feet in his new shop down in Plymouth.. he’s widening a 42 Provincial next .

looks Nice. did he widen it so that he can run more traps per trawl? the environmentalist’s have no problem wasting other peoples money.

I stopped in to see it Sunday morning.
Pretty impressive !
Chuck makes quick work of these jobs.

Did he have pictures on IG steaming home with the extension in the stern? Looks great, bet it makes a big difference for him. She's going to turn on a dime now!

Nice work, cold shop....

More L.W.L and planing service. Will be interesting to hear about speed / efficiency after the extension. Good looking upgrade.

Never thought about it but they kept the existing transom intact to act like a bulkhead and then added on to that. Would keep all that strength of the transom. Wonder when Wesmac adds to a boat say 10 years old, to make a 42 a 46, if they use the same process?

He’s still going on it. Has to wet sand the hull and do a few things before it goes in

Bill looks like a page out of your book! Is he extending the keel 5’ or leaving it?

Please post pictures.

I think he has already done some Provincials in the past. There are a bunch of that at Madeira’s dock in South Boston

This is cool
But I thought if you extended more than 10% you had to add keel
How do you think this is going to affect performance

 

[sailor of fortune]

I would think it would turn on a dime.. Maybe a problem for autopilot? not sure

yup.
Chuck has done a bunch of them, some are on the Medeiros dock in South Boston. I know of at least 1 in Green Harbor.
Ive got a short video he sent me but its bad quality and doesnt show much.
The Provincial is coming out of the shop monday, a 42 OEM going in next

 

[Fouraces59]

Is the OEM the one from Green Harbor or there was one on the Cape too? I hear he is also doing a 4' prefab extension to a 42 Wesmac

That one is used as a dragger and lobster boat. Built back in 80’s when my dad’s was
