[QUOTE="amateurhour, post: 300736, member: 9425"] Gotcha, that makes perfect sense now. Thanks! I'm going to take the motor off this weekend and get it looked at, and clean out the interior and check for leaks as well. For now, all I plan to do is replace the wooden seats and fix the motor and re-paint the boat and repair the trailer. I just want something simple to fish and camp with. However, I had this idea that I'd eventually remove the center and forward seat entirely (the metal underneath doesn't look like it's there for support since there's such a large gap between the metal and the hull of the boat itself) and basically have a back bench with a standing center console and the front area would have one rising seat and basically be casting area/space for the dogs to chill. (I will literally be the only person on this boat besides 1/2 dogs 90% of the time I'm on it) So I guess my question is this: Is that too crazy? I've been reading threads here for the better part of the past year and I can see what I'll need motor and console wise to make a center standing console, but is it do-able on a 14' even one as wide as this? Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
