[QUOTE="Macrosill, post: 350365, member: 11079"] To be honest, I did not build the "casting" deck for casting. I built it to have covered storage. The stablity of standing up there was not a concern. Now that it is built and I tried it I would definitely cast from it. When you first get up there it wobbles from side to side but nothing that would cause you to loose your balance and fall overboard. Now if there was a big wake and it hit you from the side you would have a fun ride. I most certainly will be spending some time up there without worries. As for the regular floor, I am veyr happy with it. It made the fishing experience so much better. There was no climbing over a bench or triping over support ribs on the floor. All the gear did not slide down to the keel. Overall I am very happy with the performance. Moving the batteries up front made a huge difference in both performance and wind drifting. With the batteries i the rear the bow was so high that steering in a straight line was tough. Also anytime there was a gust of wind the boat would turn like a wind vane. Good luck with your mod.
