[QUOTE="russ010, post: 230619, member: 677"] Erik, You can mod it - but you have to keep your center of gravity low. I personally wouldn't mod a 10' boat, because if you are sitting up on a seat with a pedestal, when you set the hook, you are liable to keep going back and over in your boat because the boat is not wide enough to handle your hookset. I've seen 1232's done the way mine is, and they have a hard time keeping the boat stable. On the other hand, I've seen guys take 1432s and deck them all the way up as far as they can. They get used to it, while the guy in the front stands the whole time, while the guy in the back has a high pedestal. They just have to talk to each other before they set the hook so the other guy doesn't end up in the water. [/QUOTE]
