    WTB Sea Ray 370DB Sedan Bridge

    One with Cummins engines and the lower helm. Found one with Cummins, but no lower helm, and a few with lower helm, but gas engines. Now the question--to convert gas to Diesel is very costly, but how about adding a lower helm to a 370DB that already has the Cummins engines in it?
