Re: build a center console
I built a stand up center for my 15 that looked a lot like that nice teak one. It had room underneath for 2 6-gal metal tanks, and above that it had a seat in the front, and room for the battery inside under the wheel. Having the battery up there was good in that it kept it dry when the boat got swamped. It was made from 3/4 luan plywood, varnished, and it looked beautiful. The problem was when water got under the varnish the outer ply was too thin to allow for much sanding. <br /><br />Standing in the 15 could be tricky under certain conditions because it tended to rock a lot. It might actually be better on the 13 since it has a flatter bottom.<br /><br />I will try to get some pictures of it scanned and post them.
