[QUOTE="Nussy, post: 191001, member: 2148"] I've been kicking around a few live well/storage ideas below the deck but I couldn't think of a good way to do it that didn't involve something custom due to the aluminum plank decking. I was also worried about how deep they could be and stay above the water line. I then thought about a box above deck toward the rear for life jackets, anchor, battery, etc. I used stronger bracing than what Misty Harbor did on my 18 footer. I think it should be real solid, it's only 6 ft wide so the span between the pontoons isn't very far. I threw some plywood on to test the decking and it was really solid, it should stiffen up even more with the aluminum deck. Plus I plan to edge the top with 1"x3" angle(or possibly channel if it fits right) which would also firm it up a bit. [/QUOTE]
