In the front of our boat there seems to be some wasted space where the seats are. I was thinking where the parts that hold the seat pads up we could cut it out. And in place we could make a box that would fit some fat sacs and on top the seats cover would still fit and it would look normal. Does anyone think this will work?

I have attached an image of what I am talking about. It's not very good though. I will get some more pictures when I get home. I do know that dirrectly under these like 5 inch deep compartments is the start of the hull.

if its an open bow theres an integrated sac that you could buy and plump into your boat. if not then you can always throw twin bags in there

This is just a runabout. I am going to get some more pictures in about a week. And then I will have a better idea of what i was talking about.
