I want to modify my Alumacraft.

[gator1gear]

I am in need of advice and motivation guys. I lurk here often,but rarely post. I have a 1985 Alumacraft Maverick that I enjoy the heck out of, my "problem" is that I LOVE to fish for Hybrids and Stripers and I would like to remove the rear deck from the boat. I would leave the front deck because it will be good for throwing a cast net. Long story short, I'm looking for any advice from you guys that have performed the rear deck removal surgery :mrgreen: Doing the Hybrid Shuffle would be a lot easier in a more open boat. I don't need the livewell, if I decide to keep a couple for the table, a cooler works for that Thanks for any help!

I've been wanting to do this for a while now. I had to remove the wood from the rear deck today to dig out a shad that made its escape #-o . I will jump into car mods head first, but I've never really done much tin modding. I think it will work out, and if it doesn't, Bassboy1 is pretty close :LOL2:

Well guys and gals, I dived in and removed the rear deck on my Alumicraft! I'm stoked :beer: Pics to come.

Gotta say there's something refreshing about someone removing a deck...instead of building one.

Pictures will be required.

The last pic is of the little rascal that started all this. He/She made an escape in the boat and wasn't found until the deck was removed. :LOL2: The others are are of the open boat. I will be wearing out the search button to plan my next move! BTW...Removing the deck was something I've wanted to do for a while now, the smell of a rotting shad just made it easier to jump into :mrgreen:
