[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 399077, member: 13599"] there are tons and tons of builds on this forum of doing what you want to do. basically, if your bow was flat and straight as mine is, just apply a top of your choice, plywood or aluminum. Rivets make it sort of semi-permanent. Self tapping screws make it removable whenever you want. The boat that I have is my family boat - my father bought it new in 1959. I have two younger brothers. We take turns sharing it. One brother is a ducker. when it is turn with it, he strips it all down to bare hull and does the duck thing to it. The other brother is a speed demon - he slaps a 55 Johnson on it and pulls skis and tubes like crazy. When it is my turn, I put on a 25 Johnson, full metal bow, seats, new paint job and I'm good. if your bow curves up in front, the only choice you have is to rivet the supports to the inside of the hull below the gunnels to the angle of your choice, and it will be flat.
