[QUOTE="CLM, post: 329079, member: 8708"] Thanks! Beam is 68" at the front of the console. The front deck is basicly 4'8" x 4'8" at its widest spot. With the seats moved into fishing position the rear deck is basicly 5' square. I talked with a friend that welds for a living and evidently what I was seeing with the seam down the back is fairly normal for 5052 .100 gauge. He said welding from both sides was the right thing to do. It is very solid now and I didn't have any seems or gaps when I ground down the outside welds. Once the boat is wired and rear deck covered, I will start on the livewell. Feel pretty confident that I can weld it to not leak. It will be 44"x14" and 12" deep. Going to be located right behind the seats, in front of the rear fishing pedestal. [/QUOTE]
