[QUOTE="tiny68, post: 386939, member: 18623"] I have a 15.5 ft Lowes Jon boat that is 69" at the beam that I want to put a fishing deck on. I must this is the place for information. I am little overwhelmed with all the ideas. The boat has a very small deck at the front and two benches. This boat will be used primarily for bass fishing on our local lake which is a no-wake lake. I have a 9.9 Niassan tiller steer on it, but mostly have been using a transom mount trolling motor to get around. I have a bow mount foot controlled MotorGuide 44 to put on the front. Thinking running the deck back to 92" (even with the rear of the first bench) or maybe 112" which is the next set of ribs back. I would want to maximize storage space. 1. What are the advantages of a single level deck versus a multilevel deck? 2. Wood versus aluminum frame? I have most wood tools and can cut and rivet but I can't weld aluminum. 3. Planning on using marine plywood for the deck. 3/4" is about I can find around here. Do you still put a sealer on top of marine plywood or use it as is. I'll just start here. Many more to come.
