Are you looking for a direct replacement or an upgrade? There have been several posts on the topic of upgrades. Let us know what you're trying to accomplish and I'm sure we can help.

Efish,
If you were to replicate what I've done, there are a number of important steps to take, not listed or shown in the above post. Those pics are obsolete. I ended up finishing the entire project last spring. At the '11 NE Boat Show, I told Ken Hilton what I was up to and he said it was probably the single best enhancement one could make to a flush deck model. I'd be happy to describe the whole process in detail if interested. Please send a PM.

Mackidaddy,

Could you add some of that detail here? I'm sure there are other FD owners who'd be interested in your comments and experiences.

Thanks!
