[QUOTE="Richwater, post: 458402, member: 24119"] Thanks to all for the replies and input. I have been out several times and found that with five gal of gas in the bow, and leaning forward of the rear bench it will plane. Also found that the second bench must go in order to be comfortable. A low flat deck in front of the back bench will contribute to comfort and safe maneuvering. Not yet a fan of front decks, and need to keep the weight down. Like to start with removing second bench, lay decking temporarily, bring TM battery and experiment with placement. Problem is that try-out will likely be before side locker or bracing install. Should be ok if I take it easy on a calm day? [/QUOTE]
