[QUOTE="Catalyst, post: 311984, member: 11533"] Here's a diagram-it' a pretty basic setup...I've seen it on a lot of L1436's. I'm hoping that the casting deck that extends from the bow to the middle bench will also allow my wife to do some tanning (extending my fishing time!). Storage is key for our small boat, so I'm hoping to include a few different compartments beneath the raised casting deck (dry storage, PFDs, livewell?!) One thing I'm curious about it how to install removable boat seats. Anyone know a mount that would lie flush & allow you to remove the seat & post...kind of like a headrest from the seat in a car? (This would allow for two people to sit side by side on a bench/allow for the casting deck to be used as a tanning bed... :wink: ) Also regarding the boat seats...any advice as to the height/position? I have seen the rear seat offset to allow for easier steering, and I have seen people dare to include a raised seat on an already tall casting deck...would this cause the boat's center of gravity to be too high? I'd appreciate any input! I'm excited to get this thing going so we can make the most of it this Summer :D [/QUOTE]
