[QUOTE="TexasLoneStar56, post: 381865, member: 14624"] :WELCOME: aboard! I hope you find this site as interesting and helpful as I. Everyone on here is helpful and eager to share their information. Nice Rig! Good, sturdy boat and awesome motor! Gotta hand it to you......putting your wife and kids first. =D> I know what it is like having young ones in a boat. "Sit down, be still, hold on!" Enjoy it while you can, they grow up [i]way[/i] too fast. Ok.....what's under that front deck? You are going to have to figure out how to distribute some weight to the front, and still be safe with someone riding in the front. Don't ditch the motor! She's a good one and perfect for that boat. (check the fuel line to see if this ole ethinol gas has it clogged up before you do anything else). Is is possible to make a "step-down" in that front deck and use it for a riding seat? 13"w is all you need for a good size seat. How wide is it at the deck? If you make a seat there, can your wife and kiddos ride there while under power? (depends on the width if she and the kiddos can sit down side by side, comfortably). I'm brain storming, and I know you will surely get others replies. It is awesome to see a young family enjoying the water! :D M Tyler, Texas [/QUOTE]
