[QUOTE="derekdiruz, post: 411985, member: 16025"] I did not add anything as it's sitting on top of all of the original seats. I don't ever cross big water and fish shore lines. I'm a fairweather fisherman as well that is a solid swimmer. Therefore, I don't particularly care to add much. I did however just place the deck in snugly. It's not bolted down nor do I think it needs to be. So if I sank, it would float out maybe? Lol I will be adding a bilge pump at some point to keep up with any standing water in the back, because I'm not sure if it leaks. I also may apply steelflex at some point too. I started with the deck because this was the most labor intensive part of the build. I had a week off from my schooling this week so I tried my best to knock it out. I did, too, aside from the transom wood and hatches. Seeing as I tore out the transom, the boat is out of comission for another week or so. Plus, assuming I put the transom in on Tuesday I as hope to do, the 3m 5200 will have ample time to cure while it sits until the following Tuesday to fish.
