Hey all....to start with....very nice forum....been in alot of them here lately and this by far has more features than any i've ventured thru....
Had my boat for about 5 months and i'm really tired of the bruised on the inside of my calves from gripping the bench seat while i'm casting for the big one.....
This forum has pumped me up to modify my boat into a boat with a couple casting decks....got my plans all drawn up....just hope with all i got i can put everything in it that i have planned...
question #1....what i'm wondering is can i use the front and back bench as a support for my decking...this would make the deck around 7" below the rim of the boat....Now most of the pics i've ran across seems everyone has removed the benches from their respective boat....I on the other hand....not looking for the $10,000 boat but just a good ole comfy one to fish in....
question #2..... I would like to have me a couple of storage compartments on each side of the middle bench....which is gonna remain there...this is for when i take the grandsons out fishing i dont have to worry about em wantin to lean over and touch the water and "splash".... #-o .....now...can i build the frame for these out of 2X4's or something of that nature or should i use aluminum angeles as seems everyone else does....
I'll wait patiently for any responses...and if need be i could post a few pics of what i'm working with...
tks
