[QUOTE="Vader809, post: 426372, member: 12771"] I have a 16' just like yours.I like a deep platform,myself.I tried it flush and didn't feel safe. I made a flat pad for my TM, because the bow had a curved shape and I didn't want to shim my #80 Terrova,that would put too much torque on the aluminum bow plate.Now I have a nice flat bow pad. Plus I have plenty of storage. I placed three batteries in back,two under the rear seat and one in a box against the port side transom,that one is glued in place and has not moved in two years.I used a high quality epoxy, that I got from a friend in the Air National Guard. He glued it for me, he wore a gas mask, some real strong stuff, I could smell it in my garage for almost a week. This summer he is going to do some work on my trailer,he's an air frame tech for helicopters.He said he could paint it if I like military green/black. :wink: I think I will stick the Royal Blue! The inside needs a couple more coats and that should be good enough. [/QUOTE]
