[QUOTE="Fudoshin, post: 277670, member: 8744"] Took the boat out yesterday again with my little brother, I stood up on the back seat area with no problems, and I also used the front casting deck with no problems, it wasn't way off balance or very rocky, everything is holding up nicely, and remember I am 6'4" 210lbs so that's a good test to see if it was off balance. The only thing that went bad is the pull rope frayed and has to be replaced... :( I individually weighed each piece of wood/screws/carpet/glue/and anything added to the boat, since I used 1/2 plywood, and 2x2s for the framing it took a lot of the weight away from the original plan. The weight came to about 146lbs extra, which really isn't a lot. I will say this though, since I took off the bench seats, I didn't use ratchet straps to hold the sides from bowing out, I just let them settle where they did and then framed from there, anyways, the extra surface area and the weight combined really helps the boat cut through waves with no problem or too much rocking back and fourth.
