Re: Damaged Hull -- Pictures
I like the idea, but I was thinking more along the lines of this. 2 captain seats where you have them located. then the front built in seating, I was going to leave the way it is however I was thinking of making platform that can be removed using 3/4" ply and some carpet to cover the seats so you can stand on the front allowing the storage compartments to be accessible and the isle between the dash be a 2 step staircase that will go to the platform for when we are fishing. Then when I'm out yachting with the fam put the removable cushions in for the seating. As for the back of the boat, I would like to do a small bench that will also act as a platform, storage and ,maybe just maybe some actuators to push it out or in as needed to access the 24" from the transom to the back of the seat where the batteries and fuel tanks will be stored. I have to do something on actuators, just so I can add a little wow factor to the restoration, and so I can put a little bit of my electronic experience into it. Also, doing it this way will make it very nice for relaxing and very nice for fishing, especially that you will be elevated almost wall level, like a bass boat, it would be just a matter of throwing in the platform and removing cushions. What do you think?
