Naw, Lawnmower man, the front low deck is the way the boat is made. As you can see, there is a really short deck at the front of the boat and then it drops down about 6 inches and goes back maybe 40 inches and then drops down to the floor of the boat (diamond plate) and goes back about two feet until you hit the middle seat which I had put in the boat at the factory. It is a full size (all the way across the boat) aerated live well. Behind that seat is the floor again about 48 inches back to the back seat. All I did was build a floor between the front low deck back to the front of the middle seat. I built it from treated 2x8 custom cut to fit and decked with 3/4 inch treated plywood. I put two center braces in it, about a foot apart and mounted another seat pedestal which I used, along with a pac stand I made, to hold the Sportsbrella. This whole set up worked really well for me. I just wanted a bigger boat to fish bigger water.
