[QUOTE="murphy67, post: 466607, member: 21244"] Mr. Giggles.....Thank you for the post! So glad I finally found someone with the same boat who did some work!! I think you are correct that I have a 80's F7...not a T-14S...as my side Alumacraft decal and everything that I can see on your boat looks the same as on mine, same with stern corner handles and front bow handle, etc. Glad I didnt get a new Coast Guard tag yet! lol Now I need to go and revisit the max capacity and such of the F7, as I want to kinda know how many people can/should go back in the boat based off weight with the added wood and such I have put in mine. ( I estimate I will have added about 150-200 lbs when this is going to be all said and done, so I figure that will basically be 1 less adult person that could have been in the boat.) I really like what you did with yours as well before selling! I wish i could have more flexibility in my build..but I am doing mine competently with the intent that it will be a "kid friendly" boat, and I would feel better with them not standing on a deck so high etc..plus where this boat will be used exclusively (at our cabin) we have a few big boats that are what we fish from and all that, so I wanted to retain the small bow seat and allow the 2nd bench seat to rotate around front or back. But really nice job on your previous F7!! Questions about your boat: Did you ever feel unsafe/tipsy when standing on the front decking? I was even getting a little nervous if my floor would cause things to be unstable...but more and more I think about it, the boat should ride a bit better and hopefully be more stable with the flat, low floor. Thanks again for the reply! [/QUOTE]
