[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 494075, member: 21536"] My knee jerk: 1) Keep the walk thru windshields. Add the top and even side curtains if you want. 2) Scratch the carpet including the sides. Do vinyl floors. Paint the sides. Do you need bow seating? If no, get rid of the upholstered trim up front (turn it into a fishing boat). 3) Unless you need the additional storage, the helm and passenger seats on pedestals would give a wide open feel to the cockpit. 4) Don't know. I have a Gregor 18' walk-thru w/ 50 HP. It does't use much fuel. It is probably a lot lighter than this boat. 5) I don't use live wells so don't understand why one location would be better than the other. I would probably use the existing one for a cooler (or replace it with a cooler). 6) I think it really comes down to how much you would enjoy the project. [/QUOTE]
