I have a small bench up front of my v hull, this winter I would like to put a small deck and seat w/post, up front attached to the bench. It would give more room instead of fishing from the middle bench. Any ideas would be great. Thanks D.

I'm selling my 12' v hull that I modified last summer, and I'm buying my buddy's 14 ' boat. It looks like a really good boat, it comes with alot of extras. He say's the only thing wrong with it is - it has a small leak towards the rear, is this something easily fixed? My 12' footer was always...
