As you can see this nose is much longer and narrower than the other so the nose reconstruction is going to be rather lengthy. Not a problem as I had to do something similar but in reverse for the Pink Lady hull. That one started as a Smokin' Joe's hull and I had to cut and reconstruct the nose for that one since the Joe's was long and narrow and the Circus was wider. The reason this one is so narrow is because on the real boat they simply rebuilt the nose of the 88 open cockpit Miller between Seattle and San Diego. Rather than rebuilding the entire nose to put the canopy on they just built over the nose that was there.
