[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 387113, member: 15636"] Sorry ... but my preference for small skiffs like that is to keep the weight as LOW and centered as possible. My 12' Sears tinny looks like that and with the round chimes, she's tippy if you stray off the centerline. But then my buddy has a Duranautic 12' hull, taller sides w/ - square chine and she's soooooo much more stable it is like night and day! We both just put seat bases on the existing cross-seats, where the passenger can move their base from mid to bow seat. For flooring, I put just an 18" width, 3/8" thick ... just enough width to safely navigate Fire & aft on a flat floor section without tripping on rivets & gussets et al. I'm stunned how much decking and weigh some of you guys try to stuff into light 12' hulls :shock: ! [/QUOTE]
