[QUOTE="Nevillizer, post: 128917, member: 1773"] After Fishing from the Bass boat set up that the Alumacraft was, I found myself running out of room in a decent size boat. No that it's gone, my plan for the Duracraft is to move the rear bench forward about 8"s. Then split the forward bench in half and mount in the rear on the sides. I will use a portion of these for battery storage. I will fab up some small boxes to mount the two seats on. Each will have a little storage under them. The side console I have I will mod into a center (if I find there will be room, if not it will go to the side). The small bow deck will be altered to allow for some storage there as well. the floor will be properly weather proofed ply wraped in marine carpet with several layers of the foam board under it to insulate and add flotation. I still have my Kayak Stabilzers from my first mod so if I have any stability issues. (Might even add the cannon from my "Bring on those somali pirates" post) I should be able to get started the second weekend of April. I am not looking forward to replacing all the rivets but oh well. I am really looking forward to the build. [/QUOTE]
