Default Am I crazy of could this work, chaparral 2300 sx sport mid cabin bow rider

Im currently in the middle of stringers bulk heads and transom replacment, in doing so with the size of my current dash assembly and helm I was considering converting the existing bathroom area on the 2300 sx on port side and implicating the under the helm area on my chaparral over to a mid cabin by way of fiberglassing the area between the helm and port dash.

Is this crazy has anyone done anything of this nature, From my perspective I dont see it being much more then some core material and some fiberglassing. and of course some sort of front and rear door.....considering most of what i want to do is already dont. the floor is removed down to hull. and i am gearing up to start on the reconstruction of what i removed.

I've seen a viper v10 shoved into a Vw karmen ghia... with enough time and money nothing is impossible.

Lol at auto correct, A couple words made it hard to follow. looking at pics of that boat I don't see it as being very hard at all. I assume you have a walk through windshield. if so it might be cool make a cockit door with steps that lifts up for easy access to the cabin and on the bow end add a bench, more seating and storage. then you would go up and over the mid cabin to the bow seating. I actually have some thing similar planned. (an up and over mid cabin)
