I have a older V bottom 12ft. sears boat that I am modifying. I have put plywood flooring in it with carpeting. I want to do more but I worry about the weight and stability of this boat. The boat at its widest point measures 52" across the top. The boat says it's rated for 578 lbs. Any help or opinions would be greatly appreciated. I will post pics soon.
 
it does awesome... I stand pretty much all day long in the front and that's even in choppy waters.

I wouldn't deck any higher than the benches, but I've seen them taken all the way up to the gunwhales... but that just doesn't give me a good feeling
 
mine is the same way, decked to the bench tops only, and works great. it's the same size and i can get 3 people and a dog in it and feel safe. but i still want a 16footer in a couple of years
