[QUOTE="justin sumner, post: 418167, member: 13457"] I am new to the site and not sure how to send you a personal message, maybe you still check up on this site from time to time. I am in the process of replacing my bunk boards, after that I am going to start my decking project for my 14' jon, my plans are similar to what you are doing, but mine is a flat bottom, and tiller. I am on the fence with trying to use wood framing, or angle aluminum like you did, the only thing is that i am gun shy about using rivets, i never have used them and have no clue how, or how much it would cost to get the tools i need. What do you recommend? Also, how did you secure the front of your deck to the flat front shelf of your jon, mine has the same thing, and the previous owner did not secure the front plywood, and I hate it that way. Another question, How did you know where to poke your holes through the carpet to mount your trolling motor frame, and your seat post plate? I was going to buy treated plywood. Think a novice can handle using rivets and angle iron? I really like all your posts, it will definitely be a tool i will be using for buying supplies and such and picture references. Hope to hear from you soon, i am pining to get going on my project with it being so **** hot out [/QUOTE]
