Question about customizing

[Bass4Ever_PA]

Hi all,

New here to BassFishin and just picked up a 14' SeaMaid(no trailer) for free from a friend of mine and I Am looking to do some major customizing after I completely sand down and repair a couple cracks in the deck.

I was reading a thread from another member here about his customizing and someone made mention of customizing boats less then 36" wide for standing/fishing. I am not sure where the 36" is that this member made mention of whether it was bow, stern or middle. My boat measurements from outside edge to outside edge are as follows:

Bow - 37"
Middle - 43 1/2"
Stern - 38 1/2"

These measurements are at rear of benches.

Would I be safe in customizing it as I want to add flooring and a whole upper deck system.

Sorry for the newb questions

Will post pics when I get them.

Thanks Much in Advance for your help.

BTW Glad I found this site, many customized options and ideas have sprung into my head since browsing around. Wife is going to love me for this as I can't leave things alone, lol.
