[QUOTE="stevesecotec02, post: 348247, member: 11617"] Sanding it wont hurt any of the rivets. If the wood on transom is in good shape there really isnt a need to re seal it. As far as adding decking I would take it out on water first and stand on your bench seat and see how it feels. Looks like it has shallow sides so and deck would probably be at you top rail and on a boat that small it is going to be rather unstable. The pods from canoe will help but i would try and center them on boat. Adding hatches to your rear bench will reduce strength of bench and it might buckle when someone sits on it depending on aluminum thickness and how much is removed. Your boat doesnt look to have much for ribs so its probably only rated for about 300lbs keep that in mind when adding mods. Good luck with your build. [/QUOTE]
