Mine had split seats, floorboards, and a side console.  Came in at 340# without motor.  Scratch the floor and console and it weighs 250#.  I guess the point is a little extra length and width might make a difference.But, as others have said and I think you agree, give your current boat a try before making any changes.  Maybe even ask some guys at the local lake if you can step into their hard chine boats.  Might not be as big a difference as you fear.</blockquote>
