Tiller Extension
From about $20 will put you in the middle seat...I imagine paying for a full conversion would be well over a $1000 , more than perhaps the motors worth...and then you lose space as well...

weight issues
are likely to be a problem if you're sitting in the front as wel? Your average 12 ft tinny is not going to have a lot of buoyancy at the pointy end...
