[QUOTE="zachvu, post: 388868, member: 18847"] Thanks onthewater102! The steering console was setup like that when he purchased it a few years back. Any reasons you can see to change it, or ideas or what to possibly modify? I thought about going to a tiller or something similar, but have kind of grown to like it! I had wood on the floors before, so they were raised up higher, but wanted to go completely flush. I usually stand on the bench and fish, and she stays pretty stable (again, on small waters). The wood floors that were in there were all 2x4's, similar to a deck on a house. The buoyancy was still good with those and 3 people, so figure they probably weigh about the same as plywood and 3 2x4's. I could go flat on the 2x4's and lower my center of balance, but do you think they would flex more? That was my original reason for doing them sideways. I also liked that it gave me enough clearance to fit rods under one side. Maybe I'll take it out tonight with a test setup and see how it feels! [/QUOTE]
