Paragon..built your own!

Yes..I beleive I will make a run at it ..having restored several wooden boats and having had more than two New old boats built I think the builders I have used could easily handle this project. I would like to get more details on how CC did it to make it as close to what CC did as possible. As the project evolves I will post progress.

OK..looks like finding an original paragon is limited at best..so why not build your own?

The 1993 an later boats has NO wood in their construction. Can anyone advise as to how CC applied the mahogany to the decks?...sounds like it was through bolted to battens under the deck and gunwales, pehaps bedded in epoxy or sikaflex (3M 5200) and then plugged like a traditional wooden boat. Since the floors were composite (no wood) was the teak epoxied to the factory floor? Any help would be appreciated.I would imagine that one could keep the weight gain to less than 350 lbs.

Seems like a good wooden boat builder could replicate a Paragon from a decent '93-'94 hull for less than what it would cost to find one of the original 10 or 11 hulls? ($35K+/-)

Anyone think original CC upholstery for a Paragon would be available.

Thanks for your thoughts.

No I am not crazy!
