[QUOTE="Rob Silver, post: 346110, member: 13670"] Kfa, lckstk, Based on your recommendations, I had to rethink all the pros and cons of making her into an open bow. The reason I would like to open her up is for added casting space for when I am fishing. But, a friend of mine gave me a great idea, and now I have come up with a plan on how to keep her as a closed bow. The new idea will still require me to "shave off" some of the bow cover .....about 4-6".....and re-do the dashboard. In the end, it should still give me good storage space under there while giving me a good casting platform up front. I will have to see if these ideas will translate nicely into the real world. If not, I will need to open her up. At the price I got her for, I will be hard pressed to find a better deal, or even a swap. What really drew me to this boat is how deep it is and how much I can raise the floor while still keeping at least 18-20" of side wall inside the boat. Wish me luck! [/QUOTE]
