[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 290934, member: 6657"] I really like your attitude toward safety, it's a lot of people don't give much consideration or just take for granted these days. You can easily convert your board seats to bench seats with 1/2" plywood and aluminum angle, then fill the inside of the benches with extruded polystyrene sheet foam like the blue or pink stuff. You'll get 60 lbs. of floatation for each cubic foot you install, and there's 5.44 cubic feet per 4x8 sheet of 2" thick foam for 326 lbs of floatation per 2" sheet. If this sounds interesting to you, let me know and I'll give you details for building the benches. [/QUOTE]
