I have a 1975 18' aluminum Starcraft deep Water. I wanted to cut open the closed bow and convert it to a open bow, Has anybody done this? Is it possible? Any problems I might encounter?<br /><br />Thanks : Jamie

Re: converting closed bow to open bow?

I'm not sure on aluminum boats. On fiberglass hulls the covered bow is often stuctural and things have to be done to retain the strength. It could be the same with yours. Anything can be done, you just have to think really carefully about it. If the bow cover is what they used to support the sides of the boat, then you'll have to devise some thing that will do the same thing
