    I was actually thinking about making one that sits flush to the front decal, making the front deck even, and bigger. That half step, seems redundant to me, but it can provide for a small drawer underneath (what I’ve done, but I think I’d still prefer a squared off front deck).

    TBH, I wasn't going to add it originally, for one because IMO $180 is pretty steep price, and I also didn't expect to see the benefit from such a small (depth wise front to back step). But the reality is, that step distance (up/down from deck to cockpit) is just far enough that I feel in in my hips and knees after a full tournament day, and the day after :(.

    I have a bad disc and left SI joint. A couple times last year I just forget how far down it is and it jars my spine bad, it’s just awkward enough. I’m 6’ 2” and it’s still a big step. My layout is different, I could have a wider half step and it would be a big step. I would lose a small cooler on the floor that I really don’t use much anyhow. I still have a bigger one between my seats. So I really don’t see a draw back. But I need to be able to make it look nice, I don’t want some p.o.s thing on my boat lol.

    It's a board with carpet on it. If you can get proper carpet, not much work.

    Anyone know of n after market carpet that matches. I was going to buy a 1” thick piece of HDPE and cut it for mine. Was going to make it flush with the deck to extend it.
