[QUOTE="jackspirko, post: 14851, member: 199"] On my boat with the amount of wood and the way I distributed it I have no problems. That said I don't consider it a three man boat any more. I took out three in it a few times before the mods and had no issues. My total weight add is just under 100 pounds so two people is now like three and one person is now like two. 99% of the time I fish alone. That front deck is not really good for standing mostly because the width of the boat is 36, I think a 48 would be a lot more stable. I designed the boat from the beginning for the front passenger (when there was one) to face rear. The deck is more for taking a snooze or chilling on drift fishing. Is it perfect? No but it is much improved and it serves my purpose very well. I am a cat/sandbass/panfish guy. The biggest piece of advice I can give anyone is think about what you want the boat to do for you. Build it with that in mind from the get go and don't worry about what others have done. Just use other designs for ideas and concepts. I hope to do the last set of pictures and finish up the page on Friday. [/QUOTE]
