Converting cuddy to cc

[brywheat]

Tartuffe really knows his stuff too. These guys have great advice from experience on these hulls.

Don't do it. These boats are so cheap now . . . just buy a center console. It takes 100's of hours of labor and the material cost will be thousands of dollars. Unless you do really really professional work . . . you'll wreck the resale value of the boat. You are much much much better off selling your v20 steplift and buying the center console version of the v20.

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.

That's just a great solid boat Phat, would love to have that one and add some decent passenger seating of some type. Beautiful!

Can you post more information about this 1994 V20. I have money in hand (well it's really in the bank) and I'm about to buy a Maycraft but would like a good V.
