[QUOTE="sixgun86, post: 271306, member: 5345"] :WELCOME: to Tinboats. Go dawgs! Roll Tide? IMO. 1. Lower the deck the more stable. On boats that are 36" on the floor not much will make it stable unless you desire outriggers.. Storage under the deck. 2. I prefer to have boat sand blasted. Some fellas prefer Implement paint ( i.e. Farm or heavy equip ) paint to prevent chips. Lowes sells Topside marine paint by the quart. Its cheap. I'd try to avoid painting the gunnels as the dock always beats them up. 3. Depending on design, seats act as braces. If your gunnels flex now, they will do so much more if you remove the middle seat. 4. Decking can help minimize floor movement but not gunnels. (side rails). Also depending on your material it can slow your boat drastically. Ride around by your self then add a passenger. Decked, Floored, and with Passenger your 9.9 might have trouble getting on a plane.
