[QUOTE="jggassert, post: 344519, member: 13654"] Just purchased this boat and trailer. I'd like to put a deck from the middle bench to the bow, possibly with a step up at the front seat. I would also like to add a deck with hatch from the rear seat to the transom as well as a floor. And strip, prime, and paint everything. The issue I am running into is whether or not I should remove the seats to replace the foam and then replace them. I worry that when I remove rivets I may end up with a leaky hull when I put everything back together. I am a novice, but I plan to make the deck and floor as lightweight as possible, using aluminum and plywood. I've looked over many of the other mod projects on here and have learned a lot and gotten some great inspiration. Just looking for some thoughts and advice. [/QUOTE]
