Engine well to bench seat conversion on a 23 ?

Ok, I follow you , but I really would not consider cutting into the cap as I think it helps support the transom. If you go that route you may have to install some support/bracing for the transom. I just put a 225 Honda on my 23WA, I would have to consider all that extra weight. Up here in the islands with our wind, people sitting in that position would definately get a shower if we have anything over 10 mph wind and the tide going the wrong way. We have 2 tide changes a day and they can get to be rather large, but not nearly as bad as Alaska.
