Welcome now you need to fill us in on what your floating on, what size engine, and we love pictures
Just bought an 09 24' Bentley with 115hp. I downsized from the 32' Party Cruiser. As with my previous Party Hut and Party Cruiser, I have permanently enclosed the rear and have sunbrella on the front. When I get decals on the enclosure, I'll post pictures.

Welcome ! What year Party Cruiser ? Any pics of the rear enclosure ? I am thinking of extending the cabin roof over the stern sleeper on my '06 PC.

I couldn't figure out how to post pictures here or in a PM to you. If you will PM me with your email address, I'll send you pictures. Or explain how to do so here.

The one I just sold was a 2000 with the 115 2 stroke. I framed the rear with 1" square aluminum tubing for the sides and 2" tubing for the top. I used horizontal sliding windows for the rear and sides. I used lexan to bend around the rear corners. 3/4" marine plywood on the top covered in the same rubber roofing as the original enclosure. I used the original rear bimini frame to make a top rail to match the existing rail. I also had an RV escape hatch to get access to the roof.

I also gutting the inside, built all new cabinets and counters and added an LP stove top, hot water heater with shower, generator, refridgerator, microwave and of course TV with amplified antenna.

I also added a smartpilot autopilot.

I also have some pictures of my 93 Party Hut I enclosed and as stated earlier, I'll post pictures of my enclosed Bentley when I get my decals on.

The wife and I had not camped on her in nearly a year. Plus she was 9 years old with over 700 hours on her. She would soon need of new carpet, curtains and paint and I just didn't want to put that effort and money into the refurbishing.

Would you believe I sold it on boat trader online to a 96 year old man 800 miles away? He lived on a bayou in Louisianna and wanted it to just sit on and watch TV. However, his kids and caretakers do take him out occasionaly. I talked with him recently and he is still like a kid with a new toy.

The wife and I can still do an overnighter on my enclosed 2009 24' Bentley and that works fine for us.

ha... some funny names. i tried to give it a more family-friendly name, but somehow
"POON-TOON" stuck... literally now, as a friend had a die-cut decal made for the rear end of her.

Going from a high performance deck boat to the toon I decided to name it "Are We There Yet?"

We are looking for a name: We have narrowed it down to:

Punchbuggy (remember that game) kids came up with that.

Red Neck's Yacht

Don't Ask

Sun of a Bushwacker

Some Beach, Some Where

We named our camper "The Sugar Shack" We thought the boat should be named:
The Creamer Dreamer or The Loney Toon.

Any votes on any of these ????
