I am in the market for an older 13 foot whaler and I have seen some photos of a 1972 "Soupuss" 13 foot whaler whose layout really appeals to me. My question is this, if I find a decent standard 13 foot whaler can I "Convert" it to a sourpuss model? Are there after market parts that will allow me to install the rail that runs right behind the seat and mahogany kits that will allow me to set it up with center steering, etc. or were those features special to the sourpuss and can't be installed on a bare bones 13 footer? Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you !
