Ben had a nice Seafari express cruiser adaptation. To over-simplify, remove the windshield and keep the cuddy. I guess you could put a small cc in there and it would probably ride much better, if wetter than a SF with the extra weight of the cuddy forward. Or just check out Ben's if he still has it.
