[QUOTE="Cagey, post: 358663, member: 10532"] Thanks for the compliment. I have thought about the flotation issue. I am considering adding some under the deck and rear seat. But I confess the rear bench was just a quick fix to get it in the water. I'd like to eventually design and build some type of a seat frame that can be removable and lock onto the top rail and then sit on the bottom of the boat too. I wanted to be able to walk from stern to transom without climbing over benches and that goal has not yet been acheived. I wonder if I could use a sealed box, container, or something that would float as part of the rear seat design. But that is down the road for now. Under the deck is the only space available for adding in some type of flotation materials. The deck itself, rear bench, and seat blocks are all expanded foam PVC and all of that floats! But it is not enough to keep that Yamaha off the bottom right now if it were to sink. [/QUOTE]
