[QUOTE="benjineer, post: 211149, member: 3833"] I would definitely try to move the rear seat back. That looks strange and impossible to reach the outboard. It's hard to have much of a rear deck on a tiller, but if you move that seat back and put in a flat floor, you'll be higher up and have more room to stand and fish from the back. Deck on top of the front two seats if you're comfortable standing up that high. It would be hard to get much flat floor space in the area of the V, but you'll get a lot decking on top of the seats. If you put framing below the level of the current seats, you can lay the deck right on top (instead of 3" up). Mine had wood bench tops, so I removed and replaced with a plywood deck that goes all the way forward. I'm pretty happy with how mine has turned out. If I were just bass fishing, I would have made my front deck even longer. [/QUOTE]
