[QUOTE="BoWins, post: 122071, member: 2545"] stew6371, I have read your post all over and "thought" I had looked at EVERY modification on this board. Your are right, we do have the exact same boat. I can't believe I have not seen your modification. How about that green 2" thick army paint. WOW. After looking at your modification I have a couple of questions. My plans are very similar to yours so let me ask some questions. 1. Do you know the weight capacity and horsepower rating of this boat? 2. The decks I have planned are exactly like yours (seat high on both front and reat with a floor - though I planned on putting a small gunwale high deck on the bow to mount the trolling motor). How stable in the water is your set up? 3. I see you removed the middle seat. I was afraid to do that and was going to just cut a walkway in the seat and make a brace between the two half seats to give it support. Are you seeing any flex from where you removed the seat? 4. Is there any styrofoam in the seats? If so, did you add any anywhere? Also question to all. . . SteelFlex vs Gluvit. I have read if you need to leak proof, use Gluvit. But for UV protection, Gluvit needs to be painted. Why I wanted to use Gluvit first is because of this link: [url]https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10469&p=110143&hilit=steelflex#p110143[/url] What do you think? Too sick to do any more ginding last night. I hate grinding. [/QUOTE]
