Ridin on the bow

[chesapeake724]

I'm kinda suprised no one has cut the foredeck off and turned a cuddy into a bowrider, especially with some of the fiberglassing talent I've seen in some of the project boats. My SeaCraft just has a little "tub" with a molded in seat that's perfect for one or two adults or three kids to sit in with reasonable safety. It's shallow enough that there's space under it that's accessible under the helm to shove gear. The dual console V20 is practical, but I don't like the (windshield) lines because the helm is back further. A cuddy to bowrider conversion would retain the lines, but still give the extra fishing/seating room. When I come back to the V20 ranks I'll convert a V21 to a bowrider. I might have to pay someone to do it, but that's what I'd like. ;)
