Has anyone removed the hood?

That guy Lumberslinger did it with good results.

Why would you want a boat that looks like a Triumph?

I haven't fished off mine in 7 years and value it quite a bit.

I think you'll find that Lumberslingers boat came from the factory built as a dual console model and is not a modified cuddy cabin. There are not many of them out there. If they are as desirable as you suggest, I think Wellcraft would have built more of them. I also don't think you will improve the resale value with the modifications you suggest. However if it works for you, go for it. As you noted the value of an old cuddy hull is not much so you don't have much to lose. Of course if you can find a dual console hull, you might save yourself a lot of work to get what you like.
