[QUOTE="user 18775, post: 455607, member: 18775"] Do not drill holes in the hull unless absolutely necessary. Honestly, some of the TinyBoat Nation full deck builds are sketchy at best for being seaworthy. Learn your rig as is. If you still think you want a rear casting deck, mock one up and try it on a calm day in shallow water. You may find it a bit too tippy to be safe when you change the center of gravity. I pulled a guy out of Pardee Reservoir after he speared a wave and his boat dropped like a stone in about 200 ft of water. Floatation, max capacity and freeboard are important things to consider in your design [/QUOTE]
