Heres how we do ours.
23 Sceptre, enclosed transom, outboard on a bracket.
2 big cushy folding chairs that live in the cabin when not in use. Two really big Igloo coolers with cushions. The two pompanette chairs at the helm swivel all the way around for joining the conversation. And the occasional bean bag (but not that much).
Works great, 6 adults 2-5 kids, no problem.
