[QUOTE="soggybottom, post: 274941, member: 9451"] Well tonight I bought the plywood for the deck. Ended up getting the 3/4". Probably overkill, but the boat could use a little more weight in the front anyhow. Here is the cardboard template I made [img]https://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l225/Fretleysix/IMG_1216.jpg[/img] And here is the plywood cut to shape [img]https://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l225/Fretleysix/IMG_1219.jpg[/img] I used an orbital sander to smooth all the rough edges on the plywood, and then applied a coat of spar urethane [img]https://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l225/Fretleysix/IMG_1222.jpg[/img] Probably do 3 or 4 coats and call it good. Not sure If I want to leave the space under the deck open, or close it up. I kind of like being able to just throw the anchor under there. I guess I will give it some time and see how I like it as is. I bought some grey outdoor carpet and some carpet glue. Hopefully I will be able to start carpeting in the next few days. I will be sure to post pictures when I do. [/QUOTE]
