[QUOTE="d3vino, post: 312414, member: 5394"] I took my boat a few times now since I've decked it. I don't think the front desk is stable enough to stand on. It works fine to kneel on or sit directly on it. Not a big deal since I primarily built it to store small gear under it and for that it works great. The frame is strong and would probably support two of me :) but the front of this boat is too narrow and I'm sure I'd fall out if I tried to stand up front. It does make it easier to reach the front trolling motor though. I also like the front deck for the front passenger. They can put their feet up and relax. One of the last small projects I want to do to this boat is to find a way to build in some bench storage for tackle box trays. I have an idea of taking a small cooler plastic insert and installing it into front side of the bench seats. Then I coud take a small bungee cord to keep the tackle trays in place. I just want to reduce the "gear adrift" as we called it in the Navy. This would probably complete this modification...or maybe not :) [/QUOTE]
