Mk3 Conversion?

[wend]

There are a couple of CS17s mark 1s out there for sale.  Would it be possible to buy one and later upgrade it to a mark 3?  I'd be willing to pay extra for the kit adjustment.  Is this a terrible idea that's not going to save much time?

Hello!

that sounds like a question for Alan Stewart or graham, and welcome to the community

The hulls are different enough that kit parts won't fit, but you certainly could do your own conversion to add a cabin. I did something like that to build Old Codger from a Jessy Skiff. It's not a sail boat, but the same ideas apply as for as the cabin goes. Maybe you can get some ideas from my build on the cabin. You could also get a set of plans for the Mk-3 to guide you, too.

Chick is correct, the mk3 is a different boat.

Thanks all!

For one thing, the freeboard is higher on the mk3, which means the sheer line is totally different.
