[QUOTE="BassFishVA, post: 372548, member: 15628"] Hey guys I have been looking through this site for the past couple of months and have found some great information and ideas. I have recently purchased a 1982 16ft Starcraft on a 1976 Cox trailer. The boat also came with a 9hp 1970 Johnson. I plan to rework this boat into a bass fishing machine for me and the wife. Since it is winter time I will not be doing a whole lot of work on it right now, but just want to get some plans together for the spring time so I can start when the weather warms up. My first question is about decking. I am a fairly large person at about 350lbs. I am trying to decide on what material to use for the decking, either aluminum or wood. Most of the time it will be just me and my wife fishing, but sometimes we may have a 3rd person. I know weight will be a big deal when adding a deck to the boat so I want to be smart about it. The boat has is 64" across the transom and slightly wider in the center. If you guys could give me some direction on which material you would recommend it would be much appreciated. I am just trying to price out what it is going to cost now so I will know for when the time comes to work on the boat. Thanks [/QUOTE]
