Has anyone converted a mistress or any older Cig into a Center Console?
How about any other closed Deck?

I thought long and hard about it a year ago. My biggest reason for not doing it was that I would have had to somehow raise the cockpit floor becase the cockpit was going to be too deep for fishing. Theres a few guys over on the hull truth that have taken older 38 Scarabs and succesfully converted them to a CC with diesels.

There's a few on Cig's on Yachtworld... 28, 35 and a 36 if your're looking for pics to see how others have gone about it

Look out there for any Rabco 35's They were made from the 35 Mistress mold by Randy Rabe who was a very good racer back in the day. The boats were made in St Petersburg. His son is on the Scream & Fly board all the time.

Awsome boats....

I have converted my 35' 1976 Awesome into a 28' center console. I had a thread posted under Cigarette in the forums, a year ago. I am almost ready to gelcoat the new topsides and paint the outside sides. Teak floors then go in. I am a year behind schedule as I have just been to busy. All work is either vinylester or epoxy depending on location. New dry weight before power and rigging is 3,300 lbs. My email is [email protected] if you need to contact me.

I was thinking of doing something similar to the Apache like in this thread.

Is the Orange boat a Factory Boat or a Custom Redo?
