[QUOTE="derekdiruz, post: 429752, member: 16025"] Just finished framing the rear deck. I'll be adding a single hatch for a gas tank in the port side behind the existing bench. Otherwise, I'm going to cut the side of the front of the bench to open below the deck for throwing quick items there. Tonight, or maybe Sunday, I'll continue working on the rear deck, and when that's concluded I'll begin on the front! ...at least that's the plan! I'm still struggling with how exactly I want to lay out the front, but I'm thinking it'll just end up being framed over the existing benches, sort of like the rear deck. With the back corners of the framing near the transom I had to get creative... I really didn't want to put holes in the hull, but, ended up drilling four.. ah well. The angle used is 1.5x1.5 1/8" wall 6063. I've got about 20ft of 1x1 1/8" wall left from a previous project, so that'll tie in somewhere. All in all, 50ft of the 1.5" angle and 20ft of 1.5" 1/8" bar stock was purchased today and cost me only $80. Pretty happy considering that I've got plenty of 1/8" sheet left over to do the rear deck. Only things left to purchase are two more sheets of 4x8' 1/8" sheet for the floor and the front deck, and about 1000 more rivets. [/QUOTE]
