[QUOTE="nlester, post: 277543, member: 8483"] Thanks for the response. I think I will get rid of the front seat this winter to give me more flexability. I only have 2 seats and I may leave the back seat or replace it wiht 2 small ones slong the gunnels at the transom.One seat in the stern would be sufficent but I would like more foam than that. I would probably put a seat on a 7" post in the center of the boat that would roatate 360 degrees. Having foam in the rear seat(s}, under the 'front raised deck and along the sides should give me plenty of floatation in case I get swamped again. I know from experience that floatation foam can save your boat. Sealed storage compartments would probably add as much floatation as I would need but I know foam works. I have my battery and trolling motor in the bow to help keep the bow down when I am at the tiller. My boat is really only a one person boat and I rarely have anyone with me unless we are just going fishing in a cove. There is a big difference between a 10' foot and 12'. Keep us upto date with any changes and thanks for the ideas. You have a clean design. [/QUOTE]
