I will soon have a 14' V bottom ( https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9384 ) and have a couple questions. First mod will be seats. I think I am going with camoflauge Wise seats (https://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/wise-camouflage-hunting-fishing-fold-down-boat-seat.aspx?a=196625). First question, how high do the seats need to be? I was considering a 7 inch fixed riser with a swivel plate mounted on top (about $15 for a riser and swivel) on each bench. I dont know if that will be too high. also I dont know if I want to mount the back seat in the center of the bench for weight distribution and fishing, or offset it some for steering the outboard since they will be permanantly mounted. On to my next question, how much paint will it take to do the insided and out. I kind of want to stencil it (dont lots of research, there are some good looking jobs out there) but will probably go with just a base color for now. Will a quart or two do, or do I need a gallon? I dont have a sprayer but I could rent one from H.Depot if I needed to. May just prime it good and rattle-can it if that would be about as effective. Last question (for now), is a 30#/30" trolling motor going to be big enough, or should I spend a little more and get a 36 or a 40#? Thanks for any advise!
