Converting existing hulls into sneak boats

I built a nice sneak boat when I was younger. It started as plans for a nice little skiff. It morphed into having a top with splash rails, hatches, etc. It putted around using a 5hp Sea King motor ( getting idea of age?). Simple little boat that I killed hundreds of ducks out of.
I just ended up with a nice jon boat in fantastic shape in exchange for snow plowing. I'm seriously thinking about removing most of the center seat and building a cockpit in it. Once that is in place I'd put 1/4" plywood over the rest of the top and gluing/screwing it down to the gunwales all the way around.
Essentially taking a squarish jon and putting a top on it with a cockpit. Anybody seen such an abomination or tried it?
It's either that or a tube frame and camo netting.
 
Yep, it’s been done by past or current site members!
Long time members: Who was the guy out west that had a boat like this? I think his name was Dave. Had a creek on his property he hunted. I sold him beaver traps 10+ years ago.
Also, didn’t Scott Farris do this with a semi V?
