[QUOTE="GatorTom, post: 27038, member: 82"] I have a 16' Starcraft V. Beam is 6.5'. I decked up to the height of the original benches and use regular pedestal seats on the deck. My boat is very stable and does not shift around a lot with movement. I fish standing on the deck most of the time. I'm not sure if stability relies more on the width of the boat or length or both. Do what I did and take the boat out with a piece of wood on the benches to stand on and move around the "deck" to see how it is. How wide is your boat? Anything under 4.5 to 5' on a V is probably not going to be very stable with a deck at bench level. [/QUOTE]
