[QUOTE="BloodStone, post: 99955, member: 826"] Hello all; Not being satisfied with my 14' Sea King shallow V partial conversion, I have decided to go wider & deeper with slightly more HP. I am currently looking at an old 14' Starcraft aluminum runabout (v hull). It has the typical plexiglass windshield & covered bow (also aluminum) with a 35 hp Evinrude that needs the wiring harness re-done. Pulley & cable style steering, & seats are junk etc.. Anyway, the guy is asking $200.00 for boat (I probably can get it for $150.00-$175.00 cash), motor & trailer. [color=#0000FF][b]MY QUESTIONS ARE THIS: Can you remove the aluminum cover over the bow or substitute it with a wood casting deck? :?: I was wondering about structural integrity. Has anybody hear ever attempted it & were they successful? Thanks in advance.[/b][/color][b] [/b] [/QUOTE]
