[QUOTE="Brine, post: 143216, member: 1053"] This has been a great thread to read. Sounds like you started this mod off by removing 20lbs worth of paint/fiberglass/whatever else was on there, and the transom looks rock solid now. My concern isn't so much the added weight of what you've put in the boat, but the height of your deck in relation to the width of your boat having 3 people in it. Like Froggy said, I think I would load up the fam and take a trip to the lake (assuming you've fixed the tear in the bottom) and test it out before you invest in the rest of the build. If you're planning on having a similar deck at the bow, you could just stand on the front bench, and have the fam in the back. [/QUOTE]
