Can anyone tell me how I would go about converting a small 14 foot

Three thoughts for you:

1. Fourteen feet is really small.
2. If you start cutting holes for a ramp you may irreparably harm the
strength of the boat.
3. Here's an approach that might work if you need a small
wheelchair-friendly boat:

Good luck!
