[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 331386, member: 1523"] I read both threads and honestly am at a loss for what you want to do differently. Your post looks like you are asking us what we want in your boat if it was our boat, not what you want in your boat. It's a small hull and I doubt it'll do everything you want. Keep it simple and enjoyable. Don't over build it. I wouldn't deck it high at all, maybe something mounted to the bottom of the middle seat going forward to support a flat casting deck. I don't see any reason to run more than one battery and it will sit proudly in a black box where ever you strap it. Back side of the middle bench would do it for me. I'd do a flat middle floor there as well, something simple on top of the ribs to keep the tackle bags out of the wet. Life jackets would get strapped under the bow cover for the trolling motor, fire extinguisher would be up there as well. For rods I'd bore through the rear bench and use the golf bag liners for the tips and just bungy strap them to the middle bench. That's how my jet boat is and it works very well at keeping the rods safe and out of the way. I'd have 2 nice swivel seats and a couple pin bases. Again, this is how I configured my hull and it works great at keeping the clutter out of the way. Gas tank doesn't need covered, actually shouldn't be covered. Strap a little trash can in the other corner and keep a scoop back there as well. [/QUOTE]
