[QUOTE="kensho1976, post: 325067, member: 9948"] I finally got the boat wet this weekend after the new deck install. I originally tried to seat myself and my two kids across the rear bench, but the boat seemed stern heavy. I had trimmed the motor all the way down, and the bow still wouldn't sink much in transit. With a heavier fishing buddy, I usually have no problem getting the bow to come down in transit. Even after moving a kid to the wood in front, it still seemed stern heavy. I've looked at some pictures online of the Lowe tins, and they all seem to have the stern sitting low in the water, especially when stationary. I had an idea to put the kids seats in the rear, making some kind of fold up doohickey, but I'm worried that the weight will be an issue. I haven't moved the batteries to the front yet because of the expense, but that would shift about 100 pounds aft. Also, does anyone let a person ride on the deck in a seat? Not one on an extension, but when the extension is off and the seat is plugged into the deck mount? [/QUOTE]
