bret, i've always wanted to put a center console in a cuddy hull. eliminate the windshield and the helm area. then put a small center console midship. i had 2 center consoles before the cuddy and i would miss the cuddy, but this would allow easier access to the bow area and fishing from the forward area of the deck.
