It turned out to be a lot easier than I had expected. I took the 2 side doors off and moved the front couches straight back. Now I have a good size deck up front with 2 Millennium seats and the boat still has the same amount of space for people to sit. Mounted some rod holders up front and extended them so they are easier to use. My spotlock trolling motor can lay flat with the front gate closed. Now just to get another Lowrance or Livescope for the front. Hope to test it out this weekend if mother nature cooperates. Attached Files Captain Cook

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!" ― Hunter S. Thompson
