Above shows a seat mount that use to be directly over the transducer. Once I started eliminating some of the many things I carry with me I had to move the mount forward to adjust the trim. The seat can sit high...which I do almost exclusively...or down low. It would have to be really rough before I need to sit low. The wires you see go to the fishfinder. There are also 4 rod holders, with the upper part removed for transport.
Below shows a little bit about the construction method. Stitch and glue...stitch and tape...however you want to say it. I have about $200 in the big one, $100 in the little one. The most time consuming part is the scraping and sanding, scraping and sanding.

Above is a molded in pulley, fore and aft, for the anchor/wind sock, etc. system. It was made using a sliding door bottom wheel and molding in with wood, fiberglass, and epoxy. It works fine.
Below shows a little bit more about the construction. Notice no ribs. With good engineering and design even much larger boats can be made without ribs or supports. Many times seats, or other built ins can serve as additional braces or strentheners. This boat is made with 1/4 luan, 7oz tape/epoxy on inside joints, 6oz fiberglass/epoxy on the outside, epoxy encapsulation. All interior joints are filleted.
