[QUOTE="Vol423, post: 454411, member: 6621"] I sell boats built for Jet Outboards. They are built for me by a major manufacturer. Mostly what I sell are 1756 and 1856 semi-V hull boats with 4’ front and rear decks, a forward mounted console and 40 to 80 HP jet Outboards. Recently I have ordered them with a rear dry box / livewell in the center front of the rear deck, with fuel and starting battery behind. Behind the front deck is a 16” extension to house trolling motor batteries and loose stuff. The half console sits on top of the extension, leaving a 7 to 8 foot open cockpit. Even though semi-V hulls are faster, flat bottom boats go in the skinniest water. I’m thinking Id like to build some 1756 flat bottom boats with a 4 foot front deck and two rear side seats, with the rest being open. That way the boats could be rigged for tiller, wheel or stick steer. I’d like input on whether buyers would prefer a minimalist layout, or would pay more (about 20%) for storage compartments, walk-on decks and live wells. [/QUOTE]
