Yea, that bow is pretty plumb. Not sure why someone would go to all that trouble. Even with a "modern" Bow extension and a stern extension it is not like it is going to preform like a modern boat. Wonder what they did to the interior, did they strip it out? Looks like they welded on an extension to the keel. Seems it would have been a lot cheaper to buy the boat they were trying to make out of the Pearson.
