Whitewater suggestions needed.

[Bryan A.]

It's not a seacraft but the skills I need are here. I am thinking of modifying my boat for better use of space. I have no fears of cutting and reconfiguring this boat because I have done it in the past.( Most info and some parts acquired here) What I am looking for at this point are ideas from you guys no matter how crazy. You never know where a good idea will come from.

Here is what I want to do. If you look at the picture, the bulkhead where the cabin door is at is more than halfway back into the boat. It makes the forward part of the boat all cabin and unusable for the way I use it. The plan right now is to cut it out and push the cabin door forward about 2-3 feet. This would still leave ample cabin space to sleep about three. In place of the cabin I would put some sort of seat and livewell combo. I would leave the helm in its current position so no moving of rigging.



This pic is of a Dorado 30, I was thinking something similiar.



Here is another angle of my boat.



What do you guys think. Lets hear those ideas so I can get started on my winter project. I have been scouring Yachtworld and similar sites for picture ideas and have found some good ones but I need other opinions and fresh minds to bounce ideas off. Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays.
