I own Ellesmere with ocean cockpit like the
boat but need keyhole. Could this be done by
somebody with fiberglass skills & not cost
to much? Anybody will building skills please
give me your two cents.
It’s possible…
and easier to make a CP larger than smaller. Best if you could find a strip boat builder in your area to build the lip.
Doable keyhole
I’am in Ontario, might take me awhile to find
person who is able. Just thought it might be
more affordable then buying another boat.
Time to research local shops/ builders. Thanks
If you haven’t already…
You might try posting the question at this site..
Many, many builders hang out there and most are in the NE.

Don’t ruin a good boat.
Sell it to someone who likes ocean cockpits, then buy a boat with a keyhole for yourself.
