[QUOTE="thill, post: 501086, member: 4972"] If the boat is lighter than before, it will FEEL more touchy. Now you can carry more stuff. The foam shouldn't affect anything, unless it's very thick, and your floor is noticeably higher than before. ALSO, with the flat floor, you may be able to walk closer to the sides of the boat than before, so that would make things different. Removing the center bunk will affect the flexing of the boat if you have enough HP to run the boat up on plane, particularly in choppy water. Some boats it's not a big deal, in others it can be catastrophic if you don't stop quickly. Changing a boat's balance may take a little time to get used to. [/QUOTE]
