[QUOTE="Whidbeyboater, post: 512695, member: 35394"] Yes. on the rear deck the middle forward one will be fuel. Starboard will be battery and maybe tools and the Port will be general storage. My current plan is to put 3 flush mounted seat posts on the rear deck so I would only ever have 1 or 2 seats back there but I could have one in the middle if I am running with 3 people. or one on each side if I am running with 4. Middle seat base will go on the hatch door. the 2 side compartments I am thinking about just putting a small plastic hatch behind the seat to access the under seat storage since I plan on putting tools and things I don't need very often. I also have thought about getting a big bench type seat and making a base that allows me to install it into my seat base sockets in the back so I could have something more comfy for the wife and kid to sit on but easily removable when fishing with the guys. Still thinking on this one. I will also have the hatch in the bow that will have life jackets. I wish there was more storage on this boat and I considered making more but I like the simplicity and open deck. I may add a bot above the deck in the bow and have room for some storage boxes above the rear deck on either side. [/QUOTE]
