[QUOTE="gillhunter, post: 218728, member: 5151"] My first boat was a 1982 14' Crestliner with a 20hp (pull start) Merc rigged like the boat in the top picture. It was very stable and fished really well. I converted the center seat into battery storage for the trolling motor. My next boat was a 1997 Sea Nymph 146 with a 25hp (electric start) like the one in the last two pictures The raised front casting deck was very tight with a foot controlled trolling motor. The live well was in the raised casting deck. Both of these should be very similar to the hull design of the Grumman. The first boat had a lower center of gravity and was a bit more stable than the 2nd one. I wouldn't remove the center seat, but instead extend the front casting deck to it as you were considering. Just a couple ideas that might work for you. Have a great build. [/QUOTE]
