[QUOTE="lbursell, post: 169369, member: 3905"] Thanks guys. One of the challenges I've put in front of myself on this is to keep the benches and foam intact. Call me paranoid, but I want to know the flotation factor is there if it is ever needed. Even then, I plan to add more foam beneath the flooring. The good thing about a boat of this size is that the roominess allows flexibility. Right now, my intention is to deck over between the middle bench and the front deck to provide storage and space for a bait well, with a live well just behind the middle bench. Back when I was using the boat in the bays, it had no trouble planing with me and two other guys, equipment and ice chests, so I'm pretty sure it can handle the weight of a live well, especially if I pay attention to weight distribution.
