Alex, when you say "sedan" are you talking about an express, a Bahia Mar hardtop, or the other hardtop I've seen that is more like the 25 hardtop the judge has? I've heard all of these referred to as "sedans". I have an express, and actually prefer it to the flybridge. My engines boxes were raised a few inches inn the diesel conversion, and since the helm station is on top of the starboard box, I'm not steering from much lower a position than on a flybridge, but I can be in the cockpit to ehp an angerr or secure a dock line with a single step. With the huge windshield, it's also a drier ride for the helmsman. I had a heavy tower on mine that I cut off, made into a half-tower, but I'd love to replace it with a nice, short (marlin) tower that would be a little taller than a flybridge. That wuld be my solution, instead of trying to add a bridge. I've seen three express boats turnded into flybridges, one was beautiful, one pretty nice, one don't look so good. Also, there were supposedly only about 50 express boats built, and some have been converted, so their value may go up.
