Did you try under Mods and the title was Hull Modification? It was someone spit balling a modified hull.
Greeting from Oz as we move into winter. Stuffed up the last half of summer with Covid-19 but maybe by the time the next season comes around we have control of it.

On his webpage, Mighetto / s/v Murrelet had a picture and paragraph of a transom extension that Macgregor was supposedly testing but never offered.
I also came across a pic of a Mac with a full transom width stainless steel / teak swim platform extended aft of the motor.
I do think I recall seeing on this site, a Mac modded with a sugar scoop transom,... but I also thought the Monopoly old man had a monocle- apparently he doesn't!

How would a sugar scoop work with the OB back there?

I guess it would have to be two half scoops.
Apparently we talked about sugar scoops many years ago on this forum...

Currie extended his cockpit and did a fantastic job. Unfortunately, photobucket is dead along with his photos of the complete job. It looked amazing, like factory original.

I distinctly remember the monopoly man having a monocle.

It's called The Mandela Effect, in reference to the thousands of people who remember Nelson Mandela's death and funeral in the 80's. Even though it never happened.
Uncle Pennybags, aka The Monopoly Man, never had a monocle. At least not as drawn (ever) by the manufacturer since it first came out.

Indeed. Me with a student, Oct 2015. She was a Hawaii snow globe.
(Glasses were necessary for me to survive, however!)
(I used to dress up as someone with facial hair every year with the kids - one of only a few teachers who did, unfortunately.)
Jan and I a couple years later... she was the Titanic's ships surgeon (Jan taught biology and chemistry - we taught at the same school) and I was Capt. Edward Smith of the White Star Line.

Was that “get out of jail” card for you if a certain female thought you got too close to miss Hawaii

Ha! No, but she was a great student. She graduated a year ago from PSU with a degree in engineering. Bright kid.
That day's accoutrements...
