I got this boat off of Kijiji for $500 last year. I haven't done any work on it yet. I want to put a casting deck on the bow, and take out the middle area of the console and windshield to make it easier to get on the casting deck. How can I do this? Will post pictures.

Welcome aboard.

It will be difficult to give much advice until we see pics. What brand and model boat is it?

since there have been over 100,000 boat builders over the past century, it would be very difficult for use to know what the heck you bought
so..... what did you buy?
and why didnt you buy what you wanted?
its often a fools errand to try to make design A out of design B unless you have a large pile of cash.

as GA stated, help us help you by providing pictures, detailed descriptions, links, etc. give us something to work with

You have to be careful when you make modifications to a boat.----Water , wind and waves do not forgive !

Everything said above and more. More info is needed to give any sound advise. Can what you ask be done? of course it can, maybe, perhaps and depending on a few minor details. My dear Grandfather, Nono once told me when I was a young boy, "You can make Niagara Falls run backwards if you had enough money."

It sounds like you are somewhere in Canada.
