thanks for the help with the drawing! that makes more sense now that i see it correctly. looking really good! my dad was able to pick up about 40' of 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 1/4" aluminum angle for me at a scrap yard for $20. so that plus the build you've got is making me more anxious to get to...

i'm anxious to see the pics of the finished product, as i'm sure you're anxious to get 'er out on the water and put it to use!

wow, jigngrub, that looks fantastic! how is the vinyl for comfort compared to carpet? i'm thinking the carpet will be hard to beat if you need to sit down to eat or take a break, or if you need to get on your knees to land a fish or pray to the fishing gods. i'm still in the early stages of...

i'm not decking the entire boat, but i would really like to extend the front deck to make plenty of room to fish and for storage. i would also like to build a rear deck that extends forward from the rear bench. i checked out your link, and really like some of the ideas you have in there! i...

thank you all very much for the help! i have stainless steel hardware already spec'd out, so i'll definitely go that route. i'm leaning toward wood over aluminum just because i don't own the tools to work with Al. the boat will be stored outside, but it will have a cover on it when not in...

what type of foam are you using between the ribs, and where did you get it?

thanks for the insight. i'll have to look through the builds to see what people are doing and get some ideas.

i have a tracker grizzly 1860 boat, and i plan to start on building a deck in the near future. i've had some people recommend aluminum bracing and sheeting, some recommend plywood and 2x4's, and some recommend steel construction studs and plywood. it seems that everyone has their own opinion...
