Your build is really coming along nicely. I can tell you are thinking through every step to get things just the way you want. I wish I had more time to work on my build. I would have multiple designs on paper or CAD and then when I got to the worksite, I realized some things weren't going to work and I had to make it up as I went or I would risk losing the day.

I believe I used 5/8" plywood (actually sold as 19/32") for my decking. It all depends on how much bracing you put under it.

your build is coming along great ....did you roll or spray auto paint

Bracing looks good Brian, 1/2" ply would be a little soft.
3/4 would be better if it doesn't add too much weight.
We are not very light either Keep Hacking .....Jerry

I use 19/32 for my 2 builds I have done, plenty strong for decking or the flooring.

alright tin boat fellas , im gonna need some of your thoughts on which way the storage doors should flip open.seat would be attached along with lazy susan. seat not centered, but off to the rh just a bit. im thinking hinging the front of the storage doors for traveling on trailer. all covered in smoke blue indoor/outdoor like the front.

The boat is looking great. I love the color. 16 footer should be nice and roomy too. I was looking at your schematic for back part of the boat, what are the two circles you have going to be? lights, i thinking. if you are wondering what to get take a look at mine, i put in four; two in the front and two in the back. they are really bright. they are by Seasense. just a thought for you.
