Irish, I suggest that you contact Eddie Peck in Nova Scotia. https://peckaero.ca Eddie has been building and modifying "EDO" floats for years. He's very knowledgeable of the subject and could very likely come up with something to meet your needs.Thanks for the replies,
The shortcomings of the 1320's are the single water rudder coupled with lower displacement on windy days. The extra cleats would be handy at the dock on the aft float. The flat decks would have no caps to trip across. The locker would be great for carrying some overnight stuff in a waterproof bag.
I have a quote of 9200 usd to rebuild a set of 1320's exactly like BF1500's. My rigging is all J3 rigging, I've spent alot of money on ball joints/wirepulls/bracewires a few years back.
I would also need to buy some used beat up 1320 barrels in USA and get them here to Ireland. So that would probably make it more like 13500 USD for this project. How close would 13500 get to a set of used BF1500's or Aqua 1500's?
Tell him his half a$$ed cousin in Massachusetts says hello.
