[QUOTE="HeavyHook, post: 393310, member: 18315"] I am trying to clean the back of my boat up a little bit while also giving cover to where I store my batteries. I want the back covered in the two areas similar to how the newer models come with the corners covered to step on. The problem I am running into is how to frame it with the aluminum angle. So far the plan is to end up with the frame being about 1/2" - 1" lower than the bench so I can place a wood surface (carpeted) there that is removable in order to reach the batteries when needed. The frame also would need to be wide enough if I ever wanted to remove the batteries. Instead of riveting everything together I guess I could just nut and bolt them... I am thinking I almost have to build the frame around the batteries while they are sitting in order for them to fit. I am trying to do this without drilling holes in the side / transom of the boat. I will rivet angle to the bench seat if needed. What are some of the ideas you guys have about going about this? (I am also putting a small floor in the center back that is removable to reach the drain plug.) That one should be fairly easy. [/QUOTE]
