[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 460942, member: 22613"] JMO, deck all the way over the benches. I left the middle bench when I first did my boat, and later extended the deck over it. I was tired of stepping over it, it allowed more below deck storage, and also gave me an area to put a livewell. There was a bit of a problem with seating passengers in my boat, since it's not safe to sit on deck in a pedestal seat while underway. To remedy this, I placed a large hatch next to the bench seat, so you can remove the pedestal, stick the seat right into the base, flip the hatch open, and stick your legs below deck, sitting just like you would if the deck wasn't there. Although in your situation, they could also just sit backwards on top of the middle bench. In my boat, the area between the middle and rear bench was pretty small, and we would be fighting for leg room. [/QUOTE]
