Default 2001 ST4 to ST6

Looking to stretch my 4 seater to a 6 seater. My frame is the original 3 bolt frame, could be in better condition but it works for being roughly 23 years old i cant complain.

So I look at it as 3 options...

1 - cut the cart up, install the stretch kit fix anything else and get it back rolling. unsure how reliable these kits are but 2k+/- it better be strong.

2 - swap out the 3 bolt frame to a 4 bolt but still need to get longer brake lines, cables, prob have to rewire the entire cart, new top, new center seat, etc. etc.

3 - sell the cart as is with my big block and long arm kit and just build another one, id hate to let this thing go becuase i love the older ST Sport Cowls vs the newer ones and even a used ST cowl is like an arm and a leg. Really have no clue what to ask for mine any how?

i also considered option 4 with buying a 6 seater battery cart and retro in the fuel cell and the battery rack becuase the swing arm is a vegas carts kit, that part is easy.

Mine is a 2013 TXT but should be very similar. Wasn't hard to do, if I did one again I'd likely fab the frame extension rather than buying a kit, best thing about the kit for me was the aluminum floor pan. My cart lives on an island and is subject to harsh corrosion. I got my kit for under 1500 and I swapped in a 670 so factory wiring was removed making the wiring extensions in the kit useless.

So i just found a 6 seater with the factory robin motor but has issues, there little high on price but if i can talk him down i think i am going to snag that one and just swap all my **** over . hoping i can just reinstall everything from the 6 seater onto mine and resell it later. ill post a full build if i end up getting it. i plan to go all out if the wife wont kill me lol
