This 'redesign' subject originally came up over on another subject thread, and the suggestion was made to start a new subject thread. Well, here it is.

You might also have a look at Michael Kasten's designs, Kasten Marine Design, Inc. - Custom sailing and motor yacht design..

Yes Scott, it has been far too long since my studies of boat designing (1970-71), so I would definitely collaborate with a fully trained designer,
I have talked recently with Jay Benford who lives right across the Chesapeake Bay from me. I've also talked with Mike Kasten before on another project, and there is another fellow David deVillers in NZ who is on my list.
