I purchased this Wenzel skiff from a forum member a few months ago. I still have 4 months until I can purchase a tohatsu 20hp. So for now all I can do is sit in it in the yard and make revving motor noises.
I'm also brainstorming some modifications and I have a few questions. The rear bench goes all the way to the transom and has no hatches or storage whatsoever. Not even for a fuel tank. My worry is that when I remove the existing bench will I have areas were the false floor doesn't extend under the bench? Once removed I want to replace the bench seat with a simple board bench leaving everything underneath the bench wide open. What type/thickness of board should I use? I'm 250lbs. I hope to be able to put my fuel tank In the middle and two Rubbermaid bins on both sides for dry storage
Here is a pic of the rear bench currently
