[QUOTE="murphy67, post: 468545, member: 21244"] adambriner, One of the best changes to having the middle seat removed is, you dont have to crawl over a bench to go from driver to front seat, and it just opens things up alot more. Also having a solid/flat floor makes all movement in a smaller boat a bit more stable as well, which always helps. Congrats on the bass...my 5 year old also just caught his first over labor day, he was pretty pumped! :) Again, you are in the right place for ideas on whatever you chose to do with your boat! Pector, Thanks for the kind words, and glad to have possibly shared some additional ideas back to this community! One thing I will share as a "maybe i would do things different next time tip": Somewhere on this forum I found a thread where someone was trying to save money, etc when doing his build and ended up using a dual hung? aluminum ladder for his flooring. When I saw this I was already done with my floor frame, but had to laugh as I felt this idea was perfect and I literally have the exact old aluminum ladder in my garage the guy used, which would have possibly saved me a bunch of time and even money. lol. I tell everyone if i did another 14ft build, I would seriously consider the ladder for a frame, as it would be strong enough and wouldn't need the same care/sealing as wood, and would reduce weight a bit too. So maybe take a look through the "Completed list of mods thread" and maybe you will come across it as well. Other than that, I did finally get back up north and uncovered the boat to get a few quick pics of the handles and cup holders: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190901_091659.jpg"]102750._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20190901_091711.jpg"]102751._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
