[QUOTE="jeepola, post: 413675, member: 19894"] It was too nice of a day to pass up on fishing, so I decided to give the boat an initial run on the local strip pit. Trailer worked perfect, but it's clear that the bargain light trailer kit that I purchased from Harbor freight tools is absolute JUNK. No need to go into detail but as soon as I got home I promptly ordered a high-quality LED set. Anyway....... The boat fished really well. The mat flooring was fantastic - much, much sturdier/solid than I anticipated. Glad I went that route as opposed to carpet and plywood. I was a little concerned with stability, as I installed 6" pedestals/posts (which is the shortest I could find). My wife went with me, and I'll admit that it seemed a bit shaky at first, but once we settled in everything was fine. Enormous difference in overall comfort than when the seats were mounted directly to the benches. Ergonomically it's much better, as you are no longer kissing your knees when seated. I could just leave it like this and call it quits, but I have a lot more to do. [/QUOTE]
