Guys, thanks for the inputs. That tank photo shows me what I wanted to see - mine will be similar.
I will likely do 2 modern bucket seats up front and a small, convertible bench in the back. The Allison XB2002 is their smallest/fastest bassboat, but it converts to a small, family runabout with seating for 4. It came with 5 different seats and offers 5 different seating configurations using them in different locations. I'll get some photos made of mine and post here for this discussion we're having and for ideas of member's future builds. I'm after a tasteful restoration, but a build with modern materials, flotation levels, and seating. Gordon
