1984 248 Fisherman

Hello Everybody,
as you can tell I am new here and was hoping to get some valuable insight on my boat. About two years ago I purchased an 1984 wellcraft 248 fisherman with twin 1999 suzuki dt 140's for the sole purpose on fishing offshore. Well the years have gone by and getting through all the little gremlins, I am finally at a point of doing some major upgrades to the old girl. My first course of action is to close in the half transom and get an outboard bracket to try and gain a little performance out of those motors. The next project is the biggie and I was wondering if anybody has ever done this before and that is removing the forward cuddy cabin. I know on a lot of boats (contender, whitewater, etc.) this is a pretty easy process to have done. Has anybody ever heard of this being done on one of these boats?

Thanks,

Sean
