[QUOTE="Mizzie, post: 278881, member: 3140"] I thought about removing my middle seat as well, I'll have to see how yours goes first haha. And I agree about not over doing the deck. All I have planned is a low lightweight carpeted floor that spans the length of the floor. While up front I want to make a raised deck (at the height of the bow seat) that only goes back about a foot further than the front seat so there is still plenty of leg room for a person sitting on the middle bench swivel seat. (Pretty much the same size and height as the deck you added to your boat). This deck will not be used for standing on obviously haha, it will be for storage with a small locker for rope, anchor, etc. For the rear of the boat I want to build a lightweight tackle compartment and a hatch which can hold PFDs. It looks elaborate in writing but is really very simple and lightweight. Everything I have planned should add no more than 30 well distributed pounds to the boat. If at any point I go over a certain weight, I will rethink my 'floor plan'. I'm also trying to think of rod storage or a way to keep them secure when trailering. I usually put everything in my truck in fear of it flying out on the road but it would be nice to figure out something cost effective to keep them in the boat. I'm going to begin work on the floor this week. [/QUOTE]
