Stretch or find a shuttle 6?

[txbizman]

Was wondering if there are any advantages to stretching a regular cart or if a shuttle 6 was available to buy cheap as in just chassis only so I can upgrade all the parts to what I want would that be the route to go? I have the skills and tools to do a stretch but my time is limited so it would take longer.

For those who haven't read my other posts I'm wanting a safari type hunting rig with guts good enough to carry 6 and run off and on for 4 hours or so with some hills, ravines etc but mostly flat in high brush.

Thanks for all the input, this site is great wealth of knowledge. Can't wait to get started!

Too bad this isn't around 1k.... Seems high for a cart that needs batteries but looks super clean.

Thoughts anyone?

You should be able to save quite a bit of money by doing the work yourself. In general a limo cart is about 1K more that a regular cart. I would think you could do one for around $500.00/$600.00.
Yamaha gas F&R for limo about $175.
Extend brake rod and the cables should work.
Extend all wires, more time than money.
Some type of seat frame, frame cover and seat could run 2 or 3 hundred.
The metal should only run $50.00 or so.
I'm sure I forgot something someone else maybe can add!!!!!

You would need to decide if its worth alot of time and work to save $200.00/$400.00
