Do you have an image of the Hooptie or Hooptie Deux?
If you do please post it to compare with the Deux's refit.
The new Deux has a much better seating arrangement. This is a case of addition by addition.
By adding more seating, I have extra storage space under them and photographers can keep there camera bags on the seats rather than the floor. The net result is more floor space.
I have also installed a anti-Artie side rail. The railing all the way around the boat is higher.
Artie likes to roam the boat when under power(not recommended), so the higher railing will help keep Artie in the boat should I suddenly come off the throttle.
You can see the progress, in a couple of days she will be sea worthy again!
