1st boat - 14' SmokerCraft project

[JC2133]

Well here I go. My first attempt at a boat project. This is definitely going to take me some time to accomplish since my 2 year old always wants to play and we're expexting twins in August :shock:
Phase 1:
-Get the old paint off - paint remover, sanding...etc.
-Prep for Steelflex (lord help me on that one).
-Paint - all gray or two tone gray/blue.
-Get a trailer #-o

Here's what I'm working with:

With any project there should be some sort of plan/sketch. I'm still undecided as to what configuration I want to go with but I have a lot of time until I get to that point.
Rough layout:

What are you thought/comments about either option 1 or 2?

Looks like a solid start. I prefer option 2, at least looks-wise. More open space is always good, IMO.

#2.. i think the longer storage bins will come in handy.
