[QUOTE="arob8924, post: 344140, member: 12765"] Hey everyone. This is only my second posting. I am working on dreaming up a new plan for the configuration for my 12' Alumacraft V hull. I have a few questions, and a few pictures. I would really appreciate feedback and help. Thanks! Take a look at the photo (sorry about the lighting) of the existing layout (the second paint drawing is the existing setup). There is a small step seat at the bow, then three bench seats. My question is can I remove the middle seat (2nd from the stern) without compromising the integrity of the hull? Secondly, Take a look at the paint drawings I did... I would like to maximize the middle area, and put a recepticle for a SHORT pedestal seat. I know that these boats are not the most sturdy, but I was thinking maybe a 12-16" pedestal so I can turn to any direction and fish. Then I can also remove the pedestal and seat if I want, for more space or different uses. Since the back seat is REALLY far back, I'd like to extend it out towards the bow a bit and then create a storage space between where the seat is now and the transom. I will leave the two existing bench seats at the bow and the one at the stern. At the bow I will create a small platform area to make some storage lockers... considering putting a little cooler into one side. The strange shaped storage at the bow would be for anchor storage or whatever. PLEASE let me know what you think about removing that seat, and what you think of my overall plan. Ive been entertaining different ideas for a few weeks and I think this is the best option. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
