Camden Knockabout, conversion from daysailor to weekender

http://www.amespointboatworks.com/si...=display&pid=3

Brad Abbott, built this boat. Its been for sale since 2008. It was a second choice, the first one being a 36' Winslow motor sailor built in the 30's and rebiult completely. It needs a owner, but I'm too tall.
Anyway, this Camden was minding its own business and I fell "boatstruck" in love with it.
After the survey and hopefully all is well, I'm going to get a trailer made for it and bring it to Martha's Vineyard, that is if Mr. Abbott and his partners, Nat Benjamin and Ross Gannon figure out a way to make it a weekender for a cost that makes sense for them and for me.
Its pretty bare below, but I believe they can figure out a way to do some simple work to permit one of my sons and I to sleep and to fit a few other parts of life below.
Some light below would be nice too.
The coincedences abound. My wife and I happen to be on the Vineyard a short walk from Gannon and Benjamin Marine Railway. They brought on Mr. Abbott. And here's the other coincedence, Mr. Abbott's Aluminum boat was built by the Derecktor shipyard which is a short walk from my place in Mamaroneck NY.
Any ideas how one might convert a day sailor to a weekender?

Planning the same thing on an old Dragon this fall. Extending cuddy back 2 feet. bulkhead and doors. At moment thinking no hatch, Cabin roof of white cloth/ fibreglass, to help matching!!! Cockpit will still be 4 foot 8 inches square, with 2 existing thwarts. all lines within 3 feet of the pilot.
And if you need six foot headroom, lie down & measure from your toes to your head!
Thinking of two folding six foot pipe cots. Any ideas?
