I know this will sound foolish, but hear me out please

All valid points that's why I said I don't know all the details, however if if a pro does it a 12 year old heavily modified small entry level boat is typically not a smart move but brad if you are going to keep the boat for 10 year until it depreciated out then money is no object. If you plan on an ROI on a flip ain't going to happen. That's a detal we don't know.

I DIY'd an extended swim platform for my previous boat . . . $3K

From a shop or the factory would have been $7K.

On the other hand, I think that if I DIY'd stuff that I'm not good at, the opposite would be true.

@Bradmxz . . . There are a few threads (here on iBoats and elsewhere) about converting a Bowrider (or runabout) to a center console. Most seem to die on the vine, but you could check them out (Google) as they may provide some insight and ideas.
