[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 178072, member: 4585"] The red and white is gonna look sharp being towed behind that Dodge. Everyone should get a diesel to tow a lightweight Alum. boat Lol. I'm Jealous! I like your plans. Are you going to build a small step in front of the cooler/whats left of the rear bench to mount the drivers seat and passenger seat to? Im asking because that is what i plan on doing. I have an alumacraft 1542 and I was gonna deck from the rear bench all the way back to the transom (just like a bass boat) with a hatch for the fuel tank. Then right in front of the bench build a step about 6 inches high out of plywood and some 2X6 to mount the driver and passenger seat to with a small storage area between the seats. Then an aluminum side console. My Idea is that it will move my weight more fwd,and more toward the centerline. Plus I will be sitting on a nice cushioned seat that is flush with the deck down in the boat, vice mounting a seat on the existing bench and sitting high above the rail on the boat. [/QUOTE]
