[QUOTE="sonny.barile, post: 394893, member: 18154"] Between this sight and some others I have found through Google searches, there seems to be plenty of folks that take covered bow runabouts and convert them into open or casting decked boats. Has anyone tried going the opposite way? By this I mean turning an open aluminum skiff into a covered bow runabout? (pleasure craft) Someone linked to an old 60 year old runabout (listed on CL in one of the Lone Star build pages and it is intriguing at the least. Got all sorts of ideas flowing in my head. I have a good sound open hull. How much of a stretch would it be to build a cap for it and maybe custom fabricate some kind of classic looking windshield for it? [/QUOTE]
