Anyone have any experience on cutting canopies off....
 
.....of old race boats to turn them into poker run boats?
Thoughts on this? How hard is it to do? How much$$? Anyone have any pictures of the process?? Thanks.

Best way would be to cut the canopies down to quarters and remove section separating the two.
