John,
I like your style. I too have a 6L SS Crewman (in Impulse) and its the ducks nuts. Chuck the kids in the back, tools in the tray, car on the trailer and go anywhere.
Actually those rear seats are more comfortable than you think. Took three adults to Sydney earlier this year, and while they all looked at the rear seat and groaned, afer several hours in them they were none the worse for wear.
Of course, there's a lot of real estate out the back there that you need to be careful of. It get a bit light at around 200+ km/h

...er...um...or so they tell me
