[QUOTE="derekdiruz, post: 436043, member: 16025"] I like that idea, however for now I'm done spending money on it! lol. I've fished this boat 20x or so, and have come to hate certain components. In the coming months, I likely will re do the darn thing though. I didn't think about it, and the darn hatches are not able to be opened while seated. instead, I'm going to make it like a duck boat, which is what it really was intended for. The front deck will be 48" and have no hatches, it will be foam underneath. Then, along the one side (extending below the 48" deck), there will be an 8ft long rod locker/storage spot. I figure with a hatch that large, it can house all my crap like life jackets and paddles, then have my rods tossed on top while fishing. To boot, i'll make it watertight and lockable. --lastly that'll help open up the floor space for decoys, and the locker will suffice for guns while motoring out to hunt. I'm going to toss the garbage rubber floor too, the darn thing weighs 96lbs and 1/16 diamond plate that replaces it will only weigh around 30lbs. Unfortunately, i'm going to have to wait on it because it'll cost me another $300 in aluminum. But I can reuse plenty of the angle I have already, and the electrical won't have to change either.
