Have a new boat that I just put in the water this weekend. Like a lot about it but one modification I would like to make is to lower the front deck. It is raised 12" from the bottom. It's a panfish style boat. When I was considering new boat layouts, I wanted both seats to sit on the bottom but the models with that layout did not have the width I was looking for or had the livewell in the middle of the boat. My Crestliner Outlook 1657 SS is 78" beam and more importantly, 57" bottom. A similar boat is the Tracker Panfish 16 but is only 48" bottom. Lowe's is wider at 55" but don't like the middle live well, same with the G3. So my choice was a trade off, as most purchases are. Is it realistic to find someone that can cut the .100" aluminum and lower the deck and associated Stick steer and throttle?
