there are 3 rows of benches on a klammath...attach the wooden console to the first row, seating / gas cans second row, remove third row and just add extra side support, and high railing around stern. Has anyone seen a set up of this kind on a small boat? Too much on a small boat? It would be my perfect La Jolla pocket rocket...

How stable is your 14' when 2 guys are standing up , holding an ice chest with 100# of ice over their heads and rocking back and forth.

Simulated hardtop scenario


I'm thinking top heavy = flip

It's gonna be top heavy to say the least. Remember that the beam is narrow on that size boat.
