[QUOTE="imgonnamissher, post: 205665, member: 5131"] Console may cost you more space than you want to give up. I would definetely stay at 15 hp or less (more than likely the boat is rated for a 10. I would suggest going with aluminum for the decking, livewell, etc. to save on weight if you do decide to build this. Location of the seat on the front deck will be a huge factor. Three generations (a father, son, and grandfather) lost their lives this past year gigging from a 1232 when too much weight in the front of the boat cause it to flip, tossing them into frigid waters. So, please, be very careful when fishing from a deck on these smaller flat bottoms - it can be very dangerous. Good luck and let us know what you decide to do (with pictures) :D [/QUOTE]
