You've watched the videos. Now imagine two people in that boat moving in the same direction (or even opposite directions) or one person making a sudden move one way or the other.

That's why I said to stand on the bench when you put it in the water and see what you think. Standing on the bench level would be the same as standing on the deck you are planning on installing. I'm personally not much on having to worry about swamping the boat or falling in every time I go fishing. I would rather enjoy my time fishing. :mrgreen:

If it were me...I would just put floors like this mod like Member Defiant did:

It is easier to operate an outboard motor while sitting to the side of it than sitting directly in front of it.
You are messing up on the seating arrangment. I have a 1432 and, i'll post a pick of what i did, and it is a little tipsy. but then again i have good balance and when someone is about to move you better tell the other person. Put your seats as low to the bench as you can put them. Just get you a seat plate and put thiose seat pins in them and it will sit high enough for you. Do not put a pedestal on the bench because this raises your center of gravity. Which is about a 80% chance of falling out of the boat. Just put floors in it and put your seats like i said. All these other pictures of these boats you are seeing are different. You might have seen a guy named low budget hookers boat or somethin and his boat is a 1236 and he only has pedestals on his seats because the bottom width is widder. The widder the boat the better. Not nececarily the length. Look aroung and find you an old 1436 jon and convert it to a bass boat. Just remember, keep your center of gravity low.

gotcha!! i have decide to keep it on the bench no pedestal just a 360 degree thing under the seat,, i was thinking about that early about the center of gravity and balance on my 1232, and Jim made me realize to Keep it Simple and Sweet,
so im gonna keep it like this in this picture,, this is my boat right now
thanks!

Ah man, I wanted you to stand up on the bench and wiggle around (after you let your son off on the bank, of course) :lol: .

that's correct. 32" across the very bottom.
