[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 492998, member: 3438"] We have the 14' model. The front rails had to be an option. My father bought it new off the lot that way. I don't find it tippy. We still have the 3/4 bench, flip-up, driver seat. It was moved back to become part of the rear deck. You have an open slate over what I did. I'd still go for 4' front and rear decks. Less cuts in the plywood and will still have plenty of floor space. IMO, don't move the console back toward the stern. Even with max hp motor, they like more weight forward for better planing times. The gas tank was moved back because the group 29 battery and trolling motor was enough weight forward. It went to the port side to even out my weight over my sons. ;) [/QUOTE]
